Halfway to Columbia

Lyrics

My bags are packed
I done set ‘em by the door
I’ll be coming back
But I’ve said that all before

Last train is leaving Brooklyn
As I’m bound for Tennessee
I hope you find what you’re lookin’ for
But you’re never gonna find it in me

Whatever it is, whatever it was
I was serious, you were in it for the fun
Yeah, I don’t know what I could do
You got my heart underneath your shoe
I got high, ??? as shit
I was kinda hopin’ you’d forget
I never did tell you that I loved ya
Now I swear you’re halfway to Columbia

In my bedroom is a nightstand
Full of pills and books
Reminding me of one chance
That neither one of us took

Tonight I’m in West Virginia
Confined to a hotel room
I drank too much Kentucky Gentleman
And now I’m missin’ you

Whatever it is, whatever it was
I was serious, you were in it for the fun
Yeah, I don’t know what I could do
You got my heart underneath your shoe
I got high, ??? as shit
I was kinda hopin’ you’d forget
I never did tell you that I loved ya
Now I swear you’re halfway to Columbia

And now you know I ain’t what you need
Darling, you should let it go
I am a bad seed
Nothing good from me will grow

Tonight I’ve driving on some overpass
Through a godforsaken town
Knew we wouldn’t last
But for a minute you were holdin’ me down

Whatever it is, whatever it was
I was serious, you were in it for the fun
Yeah, I don’t know what I could do
You got my heart underneath your shoe
I got high, ??? as shit
I was kinda hopin’ you’d forget
I never did tell you how much I loved ya
Now I swear you’re halfway to Columbia
