From the recording Old Bottles and Bibles
Lyrics
3. Aimless Guitar
A thousand rainy days; no sunshine in sight / In this singlewide trailer another night / Channel 3 has long gone stale like the perfume lingering on / And somehow, I’m not sad that she’s gone
Chorus: All alone and empty; all alone Through the mist of an aimless guitar song / I’m stuck in a haze of yesterdays; don’t know what to do / I need to find a life somewhere new
My heart is running on empty down a road I cannot see / She never really cared about me / Now home is where I find myself, a busted trailer park
Dragging a burned out broken heart Chorus
I can’t afford whiskey but I have some drugstore beer / Flattened popcorn on the cushions says too long lying here / I should go out to the kitchen, wash my face, make some toast / Pack the pickup and head for the Texas coast Chorus
I’ve got a friend in Texas but Nebraska’s ice and snow / And these old tires on my pickup I just don’t know / I could find my shoes and flannel shirt and head out the door / But will a new song ever find me any more Chorus
