I've got plates full of purple gas
About the only break I catch
But I am not the kind of man
To blame the dealer on a losing hand
I won't start my eyes
The darker the sky, the brighter it shines
If I'm Jack Jackson, Baylor or Twine
A ton of grit, or maybe it's spite
And if I were into flatland
Boy, I'd say I have a hill
A hill that I will die upon
If the cloud don't get me killed
If there weren't such nights around
Dear, for a guy to lay his pride
Maybe I'd rest before I died
If I were into flatland
Boy, I'd hammer down every straight back
Road blurs past, tell me how's that
My horizon line is static
I guess at least it's a shipwreck
It sucks when I throw the first fist
But if you take a hit, finish that summer
In a life having the upper hand
Admit you're only fighting chances
Too stubborn to quit
And if I were into flatland
Boy, I'd say I have a hill
A hill that I will die upon
If the cloud don't get me killed
If there weren't such nights around
Dear, for a guy to lay his pride
Maybe I'd rest before I died
If I were into flatland
Boy
For Katherine Robertson
Retired rail ties, .9 wide
Neighborhood kid on the fence in pliers
Fargo that turns over fine
At 40 below if you cuss it right
A slath of rice
I sometimes keep a bottle in with a bottle myself
You can know the edge, you can look ahead
But can't get there, it goes on forever
Oh, it just goes on forever
You keep your head down, it goes on
Forever
I've got plates full of purple gas
Thank you, Sissimis!
