158 On The County Line

Verse 1

Woke up with the wires on my chest again

Machines beeping steady like a metronome

Nurses asking questions I ain't answering

I just stared at the ceiling and wished for home

Or somewhere far from here

Somewhere she can't find me

Pre-Chorus

I was a happy man once

Before she took the smile and left the frame

Now I'm pouring out the bottle

And I don't even know my own name

Chorus

Why didn't I die

Why didn't I die

Swerved the deer and rolled the truck and still I'm breathing

Why didn't I die

Why didn't I die

She broke my heart and now I'm screaming at the ceiling

Post-Chorus

Fuck fuck fuck

(Fuck fuck fuck)

Why am I still here

(Why am I still here)

Verse 2

Hit a hundred fifty-eight on the county line

Bottle in my lap and I was feeling fine

Swerved left swerved right and the world spun slow

Woke up in a bed with my ribs in a bow

They asked me why I did it

I said I wanted to go

Pre-Chorus

She was my whole sky

Now the sky is just a hole

I'm a happy man who rotted

And I'm losing all control

Chorus

Why didn't I die

Why didn't I die

Swerved the deer and rolled the truck and still I'm breathing

Why didn't I die

Why didn't I die

She broke my heart and now I'm screaming at the ceiling

Post-Chorus

Fuck fuck fuck

(Fuck fuck fuck)

Why am I still here

(Why am I still here)

Bridge

Second time two hundred plus

Drunk and blind and I don't trust

Twenty rolls and I'm still whole

What kind of god won't take my soul

Chorus

Why didn't I die

Why didn't I die

Swerved again and rolled again and still I'm breathing

Why didn't I die

Why didn't I die

She broke my heart and now I'm screaming at the ceiling

Post-Chorus

Why won't it end

(Why won't it end)

Why won't it end

(Why won't it end)
