Lyrics Parker McCollum – Silhouette
Text:
Silhouette, it’s in my nightmare
And I can’t rest my eyes as all
And I’ll be a leaving by the morning
Ever seen Chicago in the fall
Mama told me I was nothing
That who I was ain’t who I am
Livin’ free out here gets lonely
Swore I’d do the best I can
‘Cause who I was ain’t who I am
I swore I’d do the best I can
Who I was ain’t who I am
I swore I’d do the best I can
A young man angry with a heartache
Will steal and cheat and lie to live
And gasoline out on this highway
Burnin’ bridges of revenge
‘Cause who I was ain’t who I am
I swore I’d do the best I can
White lines, keep to make my troubles all through the night
White lines, baby, all I ever see when you’re cryin’
My blinds are drawn
Greenville ain’t too far from Austin
A day by foot, a night by train
And I’ll leave roses for my baby
Wrapped inside a wedding ring
‘Cause who I was ain’t who I am
I swore I’d do the best I can
Who I was ain’t who I am
I swore I’d do the best I can
