Lyrics:

I dig her like a grave 

for someone that I could not save

From far above the bar

I tried so hard 

Spending time and money in your mind

(Hey Carrie Ann) 

My memory’s a sewer 

and the streets are full of milk 

and I wouldn’t spend five minutes on the moon, the view cannot compete  

with my view of you 

Your Madison skirt won’t fool me

Your blue collar shirt won’t fool me 

I’ve given peace to winter women, I want to fish where you go swimming 

You’re not fooling me 

I want to wanted 

I want to blamed 

For breaking the river and taking your name
