"Dallas Beltway" lyrics

"Dallas Beltway"

Dallas
Driving the beltway
Thinking about my dad and
Thinking about his dad and
His dad before him
Thinking 'bout how we all were raised
Thinking 'bout
I'm thinking 'bout where I went wrong
Okay, listen, I'm normally a reasonable guy
Listen, okay? You look at me- people trust me
Okay I'm not that kind of person, but
You wanna see what ordinary hands can do to something fragile?

Watch me
Watch me
Watch me
Watch me
Watch me
Never felt
Rage
So pure
So clean
So right
I disgust myself
Yeah, that's right

I know
I know I've done something bad
I know this is the end of the line
I know what's in the trunk is reason enough to end my life
I know
What can I do?
I keep driving
Round and round
Round and round
Can't turn back time
Can't turn back time
And I know, and I know
There's no forgiveness for parents who take their children's lives
I know

So tired
Oh, fuck it!
You wanna see what's in the trunk?
You wanna see what's in the trunk?
C'mon fucker, look
Look
Look
Look at it
Look at it
Look at it
I swear to God I never thought this would happen
But now that I think about it, it's all been leading here
Out on the beltway
Dallas
Born and raised
Born and raised
Born and raised
