Dirt and Dead Ends

[Verse 1]
You're lookin' at foreclosure and doin' time
And it don't sound good this time
They found the meth and the scales
And the wife that made your life hell

[Chorus]
And all that time you were telling me
You were fine
Ah, silly man, silly man

[Verse 2]
So I got your dog, how is that?
I made it nice, I wrote a check
And you cut the weeds back on my drive
'Cause you're a good guy deep down inside
What makes a boy like you go bad?
What makes a man so lonely and sad
That he'd poison all you know
And in one year, just let it go?

[Chorus]
And all that time you were telling me
You were fine
Ah, silly man, you're a silly boy

[Verse 3]
Yeah, it's been you and me on this frontier
Tryin' not to be suburban pioneers
Fightin' off the pavers and the associations
And the covenants against the trailers
I remember how, how we use to laugh
At all those rotten men in their camo' drag—
With their advantage and their guns
Up in the deer stand, shooting up a storm

[Chorus]
And all that time
You were telling me all those lies
Ah, silly man, I'm a silly girl

[Verse 4]
Yeah, you and me—we used to hibernate like bears
And when we finally come up for air
Now everything's all marked and cleared
Survey flags flyin' everywhere
Once you told me what, what I'll miss the most
Is just being the only ones—
With our dirt and our dead end
And no one to turn us in
Once you told me what, what I'll miss the most
Is just being the only ones—
With our dirt road and our dead end
