The Staves - America Lyrics

The Staves Lyrics

"America"

Didn't get to sleep last night 'til after three
Fell into a Super 8, my head is hurting me
Yeah I'm feeling mean, you take the queen
I'll be the king, do not disturb me 'til the morning

Drinking in the evening, sinking in the sun
Drip fed, drip coffee and living on the run
I wasn't built to sit so still, I wasn't made for this
Do not disturb me 'til the morning, yeah do not disturb me

America
I'm here, I'm gone
I'm in love, I'm alone
I'm good as gold
And I'm bad to the bone
Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota
Where I'm going now, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't

Ashes in the fire pit still smoking when I wake
Fear can simmer softly and love can turn to hate
But for now I'm happy to accept what I create
Do not disturb me 'til the morning, yeah do not disturb me

America
I'm here, I'm gone
I'm in love, I'm alone
Oh I'm good as gold
And I'm bad to the bone
Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota
Where I'm going now I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't

Mm mm oh
Mm mm oh
I'm good as gold
Mm mm oh
And I don't know, and I don't
