Clementine Was Right - Half of My Heart Is a Runaway Train

Writing you a letter at the bus stop, babe
I didn't wanna wake you up
We could sit around and make each other cry
You know it ain't love if you say it too much
Oh I'm really just a stupid boy
All I do is shrug and clean up nice
I'm a fan of feathers on the river out there
I'm a fan of summer and all that light
Please don't tell me where you're gonna be
And I won't tell you everything I need
Half of my heart is a runaway train
Half of my heart is a bridge stake
Half of my heart is a runaway train
Half of my heart is a cliff face
I like to go drinking at the VFW
In a city miles from the one I'm from
Fill my coat with these bedrock stones
Suck my knuckles when the night's no fun
Gotta call you bout this weather, babe
I been sleeping in tobacco barns
Hung the word STAY from the Mendocino sky
But it wasn't you, it wasn't you, you swore
Please don't tell me where you're gonna be
And I won't tell you everything I need
Half of my heart is a runaway train
Half of my heart is a bridge stake
Half of my heart is a runaway train
Half of my heart is a cliff face
Sometimes the best way out of the rain
Is straight back down
In the river
The best way out of the rain
Is straight back down
In the river
Sometimes the best way out of the rain is straight back down
Half of my heart is a runaway train
Half of my heart is a bridge stake
Half of my heart is a runaway train
Half of my heart is a cliff face
