Runnin' Scared

I'm stuck on a memory Of you dancing in a backyard in North Jersey You're holding sparklers And silhouetted by the porch lights on a summer evening So, while I'm pulling my gloves off with my teeth It occurred to me you used to be happy I curse the dashboard heat It's fucking freezing Asleep in the backseat Oh god, I'm shaking I'm empty I feel so damn empty I keep thinking That I'll feel better when it's warmer across state lines Now I'm scraping ice off of the windshield with a piece of broken taillight Oh, I wouldn't quite call it homesick but I keep seeing your face in the northbound traffic I curse the dashboard heat It's fucking freezing Asleep in the backseat Oh god, I'm shaking I'm empty I feel so damn empty I'm gonna go to Georgia I'm gonna smile in the sun I'm gonna pick you some wild day-lilies And I'm gonna hold on to them I'm gonna keep them in my pocket Til you let me back home I'm gonna go to Georgia And I'm coming back whole I curse the dashboard heat It's fucking freezing Asleep in the backseat Oh god, I'm shaking I'm empty I feel so damn empty I curse the dashboard heat It's fucking freezing Asleep in the backseat Oh god, I'm shaking I'm empty I feel so damn empty --- Runnin' Scared - Aaron West & the Roaring Twenties
