Colter Wall - Memories And Empties Lyrics

1800 Miles
My Present Just Gets Past Me
Memories And Empties
It's Getting So (That A Man Can't Go Into Town Just To Have Him A Drink)
Living By The Hour
4/4 Time
The Longer You Hold On
Back To Me
Summer Wages
Like The Hills

1800 Miles

I don't know what you think you've been told
If I ever was for sale, I never sold
And it's short on flashing lights and rhinestone clothes
Eighteen hundred miles from Music Row

It's Tyson songs on fiddle and guitar
And the pedal steel man drives a real mean bar
You won't hear it on your radio
It's 1800 miles from Music Row

You ain't cool if you ain't counter culture weird
And it ain't a red dirt band if the band don't all got beards
We don't got these kinds of cliques where I was grown
Eighteen hundred miles from Music Row

You won't hear a speech or see me dance
That microphone's gonna stay up in the stand
I won't pretend that it might contend for best in show
It's eighteen hundred miles from Music Row

My Present Just Gets Past Me

I don't feel any real intoxication
From bourbon whiskey, or the scotch, or the rye
And I don't hear damn near any singing
From the birds at my window or in the sky

Since you've gone
My present just gets past me
And my future
Seems to always be a day away
And in the time
That's gone by here without you
My present
Just gets past me every day

Since you've gone
My present just gets past me
And my future
Seems to always be a day away
And in the time
That's gone by here without you
My present
Just gets past me every day

Memories And Empties

There's a path that I regularly walk through
In the dark, empty streets of my mind
But this path only leads to a barstool
Where your memory can be left behind
Replacing memories with empties again

Many times I have turned on my heels
And I've tried to find a better road
But each step that I take
You've pursued all the way
'Til I walk myself through swinging doors
Replacing memories with empties again

Replacing memories with empties again

It's Getting So (That A Man Can't Go Into Town Just To Have Him A Drink)

Well, I can might get high on a Saturday night
And decide to drag my hide to town
I find me a cue, lose a quick game of pool
To whoever just might be around
And after I'm done, and the evening's funds
Have been all but knocked back and drunk down
I call my ex-wife, tell her how great my life is
And could she drive me home from town?

And it's gettin' so that a man can't go
Into town just to have him a drink
Get by the cops and the mule deer
And, of course, there's you, dear, telling me just what you think

Well, I could stay home, do my drinking alone
I suppose it'd be better that way
My bar-room companions would be understanding and
Probably glad for the change
But to tell you the truth, I'm too long in the tooth
To start changing my old evil ways
So before your next rebuke, there's a shot I'd like to shoot
And you might too if you're planning to stay

And it's gettin' so that a man can't go
Into town just to have him a drink
Get by the cops and the mule deer
And, of course, there's you, dear, telling me just what you think

Well, it's gettin' so that a man can't go
Into town just to have him a drink
Get by the cops and the mule deer
And, of course, there's you, dear, telling me just what you think

Keep on telling me just what you think

Living By The Hour

There's times that I could swear
I've got the world by the short hair
I wrote the book, and I could do no wrong
Sometimes I rise up
Fill my coffee cup
Walk down and pick a beam out in the barn

Whoa, each day has such a power
They can go from picking stones to picking flowers
And I guess I'll just keep living by the hour

There's days I feel plumb dead
Drag my feet and hang my head
And I could not find my ego with both hands
Then I turn myself around
Look at what I've found
More blessings than a man can hardly stand

Whoa, each day has such a power
They can go from picking stones to picking flowers
And I guess I'll just keep living by the hour

4/4 Time

Leanin' on a T-post
My eyes up on the sky
When I'm meant
To be splicing broken wire
The meadowlark is singing
Her old familiar tune
Her melody surpasses
That of mine

And how could I try now to sing a song
When the good Lord's smallest creature
Can croon it out so strong?
And I shouldn't be comparing
His handiwork with mine
But I hope the Lord don't mind 4/4 time

Later on that evening
Just banging down the road
Sun beds down to kiss
The plains goodnight
The air takes on a coolness
The west wind starts to blow
It's pushing up the rainclouds into sight

And how could I try now to tell a tale
When the sky tells three each morning
And evening without fail?
And I shouldn't be comparing
His handiwork with mine
But I hope the Lord don't mind 4/4 time
Yes, I hope the Lord don't mind 4/4 time

The Longer You Hold On

I can tell by the way you look through me
As if I wasn't in the room at all
And I can tell you're just waiting for the right time
The longer you hold on, the further down I'll fall

Further in despair
Did you ever really care?
Was the thread that I've been hanging by
Ever really there?
I can tell you're just trying to choose your moment
The longer you hold on, the further down I'll fall

There was a time our love was like a pine tree
Still green through winter's chill, strong and tall
Darlin', if you plan to fell that timber
The longer you hold on, the further down I'll fall

Further in despair
Did you ever really care?
Was the thread that I've been hanging by
Ever really there?
And I can tell you're just trying to choose your moment
The longer you hold on, the further down I'll fall

Back To Me

It's not the clothes that you choose that cuts through me
It's not the way you do your hair that does me right
It's the times you unwind my confusion
When it's dallied tight

Not so long ago I'd throw my leg around life
And I'd stay with each day and spur 'em down
But that age has come and gone and the memories
Won't stay around

But in time I know my mind will come back to me
Like the songs that my mama used to sing
I'll remember who I am
If you grab ahold of my hand
I'll recall you are my all and everything

Well, I was raised to take the biggest circles
Never shirked any work there was to do
But now by the time I get the gate closed
I'm feeling through

But in time I know my mind will come back to me
Like the songs that my mama used to sing
I'll remember who I am
If you grab ahold of my hand
I'll recall you are my all and everything

Like The Hills

If you jingle in the horses, then I'll feed another bale
Winter's spending all her forces, blowing snow and cold as hell
But we'll make it through the fight, 'til the days gain on the nights
Like the hills, we'll still be right here

Though the weather's bound to change
Like the hills, we'll remain
Keep on giving all your love
I'll give you my last name

Well, this country's awful tough
But your lovin' is enough
Like the hills, we'll still be right here

It's so dry that the birds are nesting in the barbed wire
Hot and windy, just like living inside of an old hair dryer
But we'll make it through these days, as the old timers say
Like the hills, we'll still be right here

Though the weather's bound to change
Like the hills, we'll remain
Keep on giving all your love
I'll give you my last name

Well, this country's awful tough
But your lovin' is enough
Like the hills, we'll still be right here

Though the weather's bound to change
Like the hills, we'll remain
Keep on giving all your love
I'll give you my last name

Well, this country's awful tough
But your lovin' is enough
Like the hills, we'll still be right here
