Mermentau

You leave in the morning for Mermentau

but you know you can't stay

'Cause you're the phantom of vodka on the kitchen floor

and you forgot how to pray

Saying "Oh, Mama don't see the same sun as me

As me no more

I'm calling a cab for my own salvation"

I leave in the morning for Mermentau but I know I can't stay

'Cause you're love is no longer an open door

And I'm falling from grace

But maybe it's not falling if I take a leap of faith

And feel forever underneath my feet now

Singing "Oh, Mama don't see the same sun as me

As me no more

I'm calling a cab for my own salvation"

But where do I go?

Papa can't even look at me

At me no more

Lord won't you send me a chariot

Send it down

Send me a chariot, oh!
