lyrics

At the fading crest of summer
As the sun was sinking low
The salmon flies were hatching
Rising like a plume of smoke
You said you'd never seen a sight the like
"O God, O glory be"
But I don't wanna' be here anymore

On the border of Dakota
I thought I heard you say to me
While you were twisting like a rope
In the passenger seat
That your mind feels like an ashtray
You're sick of all these dreams
And I don't wanna' be here anymore

Crossing into Oklahoma
Rolling joints on the dashboard
Where the dust cloud rolled like thunder
So many years before
Lacing your boots in case you find the place
Where the grapes of wrath are stored
And I don't wanna' be here anymore
I don't wanna' be here anymore

On the shores of Carolina
With your feet deep in the sand
Your hair faded green like nicotine
Your knife was in your hand
You said this life ain't worth the living
But I don't think you understand
And I don't wanna' be here anymore
I don't wanna' be here anymore
I don't wanna' be here anymore
I don't wanna' be here anymore
