Country Air

from The New South by al Riggs

subscriber exclusive

lyrics

When I was younger I put the backseat down
Half asleep and halfway out of town
I time the sunrise, Danny bleeds my ear
I'll write nothing for a year

No breakfast, no energy
High readings of spite
Vacation, skiing, childhood memories done right

I coughed from the country air and buried myself in the snow
Waited for the police to let anybody know
Hung myself with a bungee cord to make it snap hard
Autopsy, photoshop, Christmas card

This is my nostalgia, these are positive changes
This is my nostalgia

I was silver, I was gold, I was lit up like Salem Street
Had an hour and a shower and a man to meet
Took my knife and a twenty for protection and take-out
We can blast UMO while they watch us make out

Wouldn't it be nice if we could live together?
Wouldn't it be loose without the tether?

I was happier
I could still be.
