Verse 1
The ink on his arm says there’s a story to tell
While we’re sitting here drinking he might as well
Tell me where he’s going and where he’s been
Tell me why he’s running and what he’s seen
Chorus 1
And I think of you upstairs in our motel room
Waiting for me in the dirty lightbulb gloom
Wherever we differ, whatever you do
The only one between me and the dark is you
Verse 2
His girlfriend was a model but she left him alone
Tries to show me a picture but she’s gone from his phone
Had to quit his job because it was bad for his health
Bought himself an RV with the last of his wealth
Chorus 2
And I think of you as the light begins to fade
Everything we’ve done, the life we’ve made
Whenever we differ whatever you do
That cannot be me while I got you
Bridge
We go to bed
I hold you tight
Listen to your breathing
Into the night
I dream about an empty road
And where it might take me
If I’m on it alone
Verse 3
He's going west to Slab City when the summer heat cools
Off the grid in the desert where there are no rules
Brass bullets by the bucket from the rifle range
Sell them for a hundred fifty dollars and change
Chorus 3
He we are on this greasy edge of town
Look up my angel, don't get down
Hold on tight together, forever true
The only one between me and Slab City is you.
The only one between me and Slab City is you.
The only one between me and Slab City is you.
