Drive By Truckers Space City Lyrics

Space City Lyrics

If I could have one wish right now

I’d be about as half as tough as I
pretend I am

I wouldn’t care empty this old house feels

I’d take
her things and take ‘em far away from here

I’d make sure no dirt ever got
on her name

But lookin’ at that stone would bring me so much pain

I’d go into town wearin’ my finest clothes

I’d turn these tears into
blood & make it run ice cold



Space City’s one hour up the road
from me

It’s one hour away from as close to the moon as anybody down
here’s ever gonna be

Somewhere beyond that big white light is where my
heart has gone

Somewhere she’s wonderin’ what’s takin’ me so long



My hands are as good to me as they’ve ever been

I ain’t ashamed
of anything my hands ever did

Sometimes the words I used were as hard as
my fist

She had the strength of a man and the heart of a child I
guess



Space City’s one hour up the road from me

It’s one
hour away from as close to the moon as anybody down here’s ever gonna be

Somewhere beyond that big white light is where my heart has gone

Somewhere she’s wonderin’ what’s takin’ me so long
