Laura Pursell

Lyrics

Screened-in porch and bourbon-soaked memories
Words fly, another night down
Late rise, a black cup of coffee
Why am I still hangin’ around?

I lost the thread, what are you talkin’ about?
Seems you lost it too
Aren’t you tired of all this knockin’ about
Wishing lies were true?

It took a long time to get here
And it’s a long way from home
You wear your pain like a hellbound train
Storyteller, you’re all alone

I’d take all those scars and I’d burn ‘em
To help you wipe the slate clean
Old memories poisoned your sweetness
And whiskey made your heart mean

All this blame you’re still throwing around
Every friend you chased away
One more drink, it’s so easy to drown
In bitter tales of yesterday

It took a long time to get here
And it’s a long way from home
And you wear your pain like a hellbound train
Storyteller, there you go
Storyteller, you’re all alone
