"Yankee Trails" lyrics

"Yankee Trails"

From a farm in New Hampshire
To a share house in Boston
You worked in a kitchen
You sold trees at Christmas

A stint in Philly
A minute in Vegas
You're doing the circuit
Of drug sunken faces
You wash out to Reno
With the best of intentions
You apprentice at drywall
But the devil makes a suggestion

He says hey why don't you
Get yourself new trouble
He says hey why don't you
Have yourself some struggle

A summer in Memphis
Kansas City in winter
Jacksonville calling
So you go and answer
You crash out in Mesa
And there's nothing worse
You start at a warehouse
But the devil offers this curse

He says hey why don't you
Get yourself new trouble
He says hey why don't you
Have yourself some struggle
He says hey why don't you
Get yourself new trouble
He says hey life is long
Why not spend it fucked up

And so ends your world tour
When you get left in Fresno
Another check into rehab
The bus pulls off without you
