Lyrics
He twisted that brown filter off his cigarette
Then he lit the ragged end and closed his eyes
He whispered something ‘bout a girl from Coffeyville
With a broken heart and a tattoo on her thigh
said “It was a long time gone and another life ago
When a bitter wind tore holes in childish dreams
sometimes circumstance lays waste to best laid plans
And it’s years until we find out what it means..”
Chorus
(He said)
When you deal in other peoples demons
you will more than likely die alone
The price I paid just waiting for the other foot to fall cost me any chance of going home
That little dog became a proxy for forgiveness
Filling in the blanks on quiet nights
Never asking more than for companions
And affection...and to never leave her sight
Now she’s gone from here and nothing feels the same
And all of the forgiveness in the world
Can’t fill these empty rooms or kill these restless ghosts
or light these lonely halls where they sway and swirl
