Hitched a ride with a cocaine man Slept on the floor of the back of his sedan And we sang some tunes in every key so low Classic rock n’ roll for one and a half souls, yea Hopped off for a coast bound train Paid my cash for a roof in the rain Fell in love with being alone And I made love to a few empty souls They all returned the favors You can’t fall in love with inconsistencies Yeah, you can’t fall in love with me
I was going by a different name A Western call fit for a different place Found myself between the bay and the coast A strip of land made of gamblers and lust So I rode it out on a parasail I kissed Australia and did not tell There are some things that you may never know about me There are some things that I just won’t show you There are some places we will never go You can’t fall in love with inconsistencies Yeah, you can’t fall in love with me
So I left the key by the door So you can hang it around someone else’s neck Someone who’ll use it more And I left the candle burning I left it lit, so you can blow it out When you find someone else, someone who’s worth it Hitched a ride with a cocaine man
