Runny Eggs

Original

I'm gonna buy me a real fast car

Drive to California, where the heartless are

Find a diner in the desert, eat some real runny eggs

Tear down all the photos that are hung in my head

And I'm gonna book me a flight to Pamplona

Take a horn to the chest like I'm back in Oklahoma

Find a lady with some big ol' Spanish eyes

Find out where all my old love hides

And I'm gonna play me a show to ten thousand

In the middle of the snow in the Colorado mountains

Watch my father and my sister and my friends find peace

I'll sing the wrong damn song in the wrong damn key

But no matter where I go, I pray to always find home

Travel 'round and eat those damn runny eggs alone

In a diner on the edge of California and Nevada

Wish I'd known the good times back when we'da had 'em

And I'm gonna walk me the streets of West Village

In the middle of the summer, in the evening, time stillness

Watch Nate break his ankle after too many rounds

After tearin' Brooklyn to the goddamn ground

And I'm gonna talk to God in some church

After years, beers, and fears, and too much work

Tell Him I'm sorry for the way that I am

Using His name before saying "damn"

And I'm gonna buy me a real fast car

Drive to California, where the heartless are

How you thought you was a gentleman back when you was young

Maybe I'll find Jesus when the mornin' comes

Maybe I'll find Jesus when the mornin' comes

Maybe I'll find Jesus when the mornin' comes
