Lyrics

Tell me, boy, are you the oldest son
Does your mama have brown eyes
Do you have trauma in your blood
I wouldn't ask accept I'm looking for a man
And I think that you could love me if your soul's already damned
I'm wild, I'm exhausted, I'm messy to a fault
Got dirt under my nails and rapid mental rot
I could take you to the desert, we could share a night again
You don't ask me where I'm going, I don't ask you where you've been
Well, we could get married and run away, elope
I don't really mind, cause I don't know too many folks
We could go into the valley, buy some land and live alone
You could fix your motorcycles, I could play a couple shows
Darling, I've loved you since years and years ago
We always miss each other, when I'm away, you are at home
So why ask you these questions when you know I've always known
I just want to hear you say it, say I'll finally be your own
You live across the highway with the Ponderosa pine
Sometimes I come to visit, sometimes I call you mine
When I am a leaving, you always wave goodbye
Standing on the porch, sun shining in your eyes
I'm dying, I'm aging, I'm painfully aware
That the further you are from me, the more I tend to care
I can send you all the letters, songs filled in my brain
Doesn't make up for the distance that reminds me you're away
Well, we could share something like rent or wedding rings
I enjoy the drive to see you, hate the miles in between
We could start a new tradition, I think it'd go like this
Every night you'd come back to me, give and take a little kiss
Darling, I've loved you since years and years ago
We always miss each other when I'm away, you are at home
So why ask you these questions when you know I've always known
I just want to hear you say it, say I'll finally be your own
