Cold Canyon Lyrics by Violent Femmes

Cold Canyon Lyrics

    Travel 'round the country
    Look out for what i can get
    Another blessed highway
    Hey mister you're gonna regret
    'cause you just reminded me of something
    I long to forget
    But no matter how much he drink or smoke
    My memory's still clear
    It hurts me dear
    It's sharp today like it was yesterday
    No i don't have much hope
    Just the other night i came
    Face to face with my past
    Came down like a lightning bolt
    Struck me with a flash
    I was praying all along
    That it would not last
    Oh stop it stop it stop it stop it
    Y'know the last time you rang
    I nearly died i almost cried
    I put my pride in my pockets
    And said you gotta stay cool cool cool
    Y'know some things just gotta hang
    Oh lord lord
    Take me back
    I'm going back
    The long track
    So do yourself a favor
    And leave me if you please
    I'm in a cold cold canyon
    With a cold cold canyon breeze
    Woke up in a strange room
    And then i saw a door
    I went right over and opened it
    Though i'd never been there before
    Started presiding over the meeting
    The chairman said i had the floor
    And when we adjourned everyone
    Was satisfied
    We all got our money
    Then went out where it was sunny
    But it was kind of funny
    To find out that i was such a dummy
    But there's no place you can really hide
