lyrics

Saying you are alone, couldn’t be further from the truth
As you drive off with one headlight in the dark
And you said you’d buy the part but daddy lives too far
So I took a peek under the hood for you

Well to both of our surprise, there was nothing wrong with the light
See this wire here, it’s just a little loose
And we realized right then, that every second chance
Is like this beat up car that’s in need of a boost

Are you close to what you’re after?
Throwing a line into the dark
Waiting around for something to happen
Is just not what I had in mind

To the place where you come from, the small town no one’s heard of
Well you said it’s mentioned in your favorite book
We’re like the songs you sing aloud, when no one is around
It’s a little off key but damn it feels so good

Are you close to what you’re after?
Throwing a line into the dark
Waiting around for something to happen
Is just not what I had in mind

These walls I left blank, ‘Cause I didn’t know if I’d stay
Well the last four years man they really flew
But now the lease is up and so is my good luck
But there ain’t no way I’m leaving without you

Are you close to what you’re after?
Throwing a line into the dark
Waiting around for something to happen
Is just not what I had in mind

Amado Gonzalez San Marcos, Texas

Amado Gonzalez is an old soul who reached the end of his rope sooner than expected. In the span of a few years he left town for mental health, ended faulty relationships, and got fired from a job promising more than it could deliver. Too young to be wise, yet too old to be reckless, he opted for travel which took him 33,000 miles. Those memories filled a hefty suitcase of stories he shares here. ... more
