Coyote smiles, a wicked laugh
All of it just takes me back
To when you were still standing by my side
None of it seems clear to me
A lustful dream, not a memory
Just craving something real that could be mine
Said we'd pack it all away
And head out where the Indians lay
Live like outlaws on a mountainside
Then you'd breathe out your nicotine
The only drug I'd ever need
Is choking down on all those pretty lies
Did it work out how you thought it would?
Did the road treat you good?
Did you find home?
Sometimes I wonder if you ever think of me
And you just can't bear to see me left alone
Do you still dream about Jerome?
I close my eyes, you're standing there
Twisted lips and auburn hair
And I go back again a million times
I was so wrapped up in revelry
That I could never see the leaving dancing just beyond the county lines
Did it work out how you thought it would?
Did the road treat you good?
Did you find home?
Sometimes I wonder if you ever think of me
And you just can't bear to see me left alone
Do you still dream about Jerome?
I could offer you serenity
But you were born and raised to leave
I hope you make it back to me
Jerome
