A hidden track at the end of Walker’s 2004 album “Letters”, “Stateline” tells a story of a man driven to kill himself after his wife leaves him and starts a new relationship, thus separating him from his son.
Seven hours till the moon sleeps
I lose my mind as I drive away
Your cigarettes are in the back seat
I can't bring myself to throw away
All of the film from the camera that took
All the pictures of the images in my mind
So I'll drive a straight line
When I cross the state line
Out on to the ocean, in a moment I'll be gone
Then you won't have to feel torn
Pass the churches full of guilted faith
They send there hangovers from last night
It won't do me any good to pray, cause even god knows
That you were right
And I was wrong but yeah it kills me
That my kid will never know me, with another man by his side
So I'll drive a straight line
When I cross the state line
Out on to the ocean, in a moment I'll be gone
Then you won't have to feel torn
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
So I'll drive a straight line
When I cross the state line
Out on to the ocean, in a moment I'll be gone
So I'll drive a straight line
When I cross the state line
Out on to the ocean, in a moment I'll be gone
You won't have to feel torn
Have to feel torn
Thinking of you with my last breath
Stateline was written by Butch Walker.
