Lyrics Iron – My Side Of The Road

Saw you take it on the chin outside the Phoenix Motor Inn
You could always find a way to kill the bird and keep the flame
Somehow lighter on your feet, crossing the dark end of the street
Falling harder than a star cause you can hear the broken heart

Mission bugs out every night, they throw themselves into the light
Always waking from a dream of blowing up and burning clean
Saw you cold and getting wet, sucking the ends of cigarettes
You learned how to love a scar cause you could hear the broken heart
But you won’t sing that sad song

Saw you run and hide, I saw you slide across the sky
But I never saw you down on my side of the road

Saw you take it on the chin and fix it back with bobby pins
Saw you lose before the start, I saw you shining in the dark
Saw you chained, I saw you choke, saw you running out of rope
Saw you shaking off the blues, I saw you recognize the tune
But you won’t sing that sad song

Frisco’s too much for me to bear, I thought for sure you’d meet me there
But I never saw you down on my side of the road
