I can't sleep a wink any longer And tobacco signs are like chains on a river 2 x 6 been threaded through the sable And I'd never seen the wrong side of the coast Flashing and the crackling of the timber Its one more down and the hole's getting bigger Looking like its raining in the rafters And I've never seen that live oak up so close But I'm seeing things I never thought I'd see And I've got her to thank for showing me 17 years more And from what they say it's only getting worse Chewed me up and spit me out Another season will surely be the end of this town Hush up now Katie, don't you cry no more 'Cause those winds will scratch and steal and maim a man You don't want to know what lies behind that door There are things out there you'll never understand Well I'm seeing things I never thought I'd see And I've got her to thank for showing me 17 years more And from what they say it's only getting worse Chewed me up and spit me out Another season will surely be the end of this town 17 years more And from what they say it's only getting worse Chewed me up and spit me out Another season will surely be the end of this town
