"Headed North" lyrics

"Headed North"

Ah, shit

Well they finally caught the guys who blew up those two police cars
It was a couple college kids who thought the town was dumb as rocks
Like we wouldn't raise an eyebrow at the sudden lack of bullshit
Too few parking tickets written, too few high-school parties stopped

Well, I always wish you well when I pass the old gas station
With the banner on the front that shows how tolerant they are
You'll get told to go to hell by some summer-time flatlander
With a coexistin' sticker on the bumper of their car

And it's gone to shit without you
It was shit before, but at least I had you
No, there ain't nothing to report
But I hope you're bored and headed north

I've been taking your advice and trying to scream less at the tourists
And I've been working on my timin' when I ask too much of you
But if I see one more cyber truck, I swear to God I'm gonna floor it
Need somebody here to talk me out of things I can't undo

And it's gone to shit without you
It was shit before, but at least I had you
No, there ain't nothing to report
But I hope you're bored and headed north

And it's gone to shit without you
It was shit before, but at least I had you
No, there ain't nothing to report
But I hope you're bored and headed north
