Blacktop Musical - Waiting for the Fix Lyrics

She was just a girl from the mitten
And I was chasing pills with power chords
She learned every word to every song I ever wrote
But I was too f*cked up to give it any thought
She was much too young to waste her time believing songs
But she insisted that she join us on the tour
I told her every girl left disappointed in the end
I might have laughed when she said she could love me more

Sign my name in dirt and let the rain come
Gravel, gravel road take me home

We lived off fast food and faster liquor
We made love in abandoned parking lots
She made her way into every song that I would write
And I got into bigger bars and bigger shots
She mouthed the words when I forgot the lyrics
Tried to wrestle my corruptions to the floor
But there were other venues, other towns, and other women
And I wondered if they could love me more

She got off the bus in New York City
And I got off the pills in Albany
When we got off each other I spent six months in Vancouver
And the band moved on to Calgary, without me

I'm still holding on to song believers
I'm still holding on to Michigan
Sign my name in dirt and let the rain come
Gravel gravel road take me home
