Towns Coming to Me

[Verse 1]
Older sister can you tell me the way things
Were back when you saw my way?
Seem distant but I still remember
Dark nights of black, stars like rain
Stars like rain

[Verse 2]
You heard calves bawling in the pasture
Hitting ground alive and brave
Now I crank the lifeless body
From a womb so dry and gray
Dry and gray

[Chorus]
Flare lights, neon bright
Dancing in the rain
I could see it coming for miles
Now it's sitting at my gate
Through the chain, I pinch the lock
No longer am I free
I don't go to town no more, because the town
Is coming to me

[Verse 3]
From the tank a bass filet
From the bone a ribeye steak
A man could live like this forever
Until his knocking on Judgement Day

[Verse 4]
Where the crust shook the water table
The pump primed, the casing strained
In the box one final letter
State claims eminent domain

[Chorus]
Flare lights, neon bright
Dancing in the rain
I could see it coming for miles
Now it's sitting at my gate
Through the chain, I pinch the lock
No longer am I free
I don't go to town no more, because the town
Is coming to me

[Verse 5]
Grandfather can you tell me the way things
Were back when you saw my way?
When the glimmer on the horizon
Was a thousand miles away
