Leaving Detroit

Boarded windows, rusty stairs
Local color push their wares
They're stuck in their ways
You tell me that you just don't care
Don't pretend that you don't care

Waves of undulating grain
Visible from the little train
Where you slept
Sorry that I ripped your dress
Sorry that I ripped your dress

You're already gone
This house ain't a home
I'll take the last flight
I stare at my hands
We'll make our last stand
I'm leaving Detroit

Abortion billboards, fast food chains
Tires whining softly in the rain
On the outskirts of town
What it is that I don't got
Who it is that I'm not

You liked it rough, or so you said
I hit you till my fingers bled
Your eyes nickel blue
My wedding ring nicked your chin
My wedding ring nicked your chin

You're already gone
This house ain't a home
I'll take the last flight
I stare at my hands
We'll make our last stand
I'm leaving Detroit

You're already gone
This house ain't a home
I'll take the last flight
I stare at my hands
We'll make our last stand
I'm leaving Detroit

You're already gone
This house ain't a home
I'll take the last flight
I stare at my hands
We'll make our last stand
I'm leaving Detroit
