lyrics

He’s got an ache that won’t go away
Just a lonely cowboy and the sun burns so hot
Very few surprises, waiting for the rains to come
Cause they redirect the water to Cali-for-ni-ay
He’ll just keep tumbling from town to town without emotion
Perpetual motion will blow the blues away
Every new bar gives another girl another story
It’s never boring, but it all adds up loneliness
At the end of the day...
Chorus —
I was his Grand companion
Filling up a canyon in a sprawling desert life
I spread to fill the space up
In a place where nothing can grow up without love, nothing grows without love.
Bridge —
I have seen the void inside his heart
Like a glacier it moves so slow and runs so deep
It scares me when I try to sleep / From a distance, I can hear it creaking...
Digital tourists take photos of me in various poses for the women’s magazines
I lie and smile there, I’ll probably die there
From the dehydration, or the heat
Chorus & Outro
Nobody can grow without love.
