Lyrics

[Verse 1] Here we sit Across the table from each other A thousand miles from both our mothers Barely old enough to rust Here we sit Pretending both our hearts are anchors Taking candy from these strangers Amidst the diesel and the dust Here we sit Singing words nobody taught us Drinking fire and spitting sawdust Trying to teach ourselves to breathe We haven't yet But every chorus brings us closer Every flyer and еvery poster Gives a piеce of what we need [Chorus] And the sand that they call cocaine cost you twice as much as gold You'd be better off to drink your coffee black But I swear, the land, it listened to the stories that we told God bless the busted boat that brings us back [Verse 2] Morning's rough It don't give a damn about the mission Has no aesthetic or tradition Only lessons never learned I'd had enough About a month ago tomorrow Parting holds no trace of sorrow For the bitter and the burn [Chorus] And the piss they call tequila, even Waylon wouldn't drink Well, I'd rather sip this Listerine I packed But I swear I've never seen a better place to sit and think God bless the busted boat that brings us back [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] And the sand that they call cocaine cost you twice as much as gold You'd be better off to drink your coffee black But I swear, the land, it listened to the stories that we told God bless the busted boat that brings us back [Post-Chorus] God bless the busted boat that brings us back [Interlude] Thank you That song there was about a trip to Australia, my first trip to Australia (Yeah) I'll tell you something about Australia, it's a long way from Central America It's not, though, it's not a long way from, like, Thailand So sometimes when you get to Australia If you're the kind of person who makes terrible decisions like I was the first time I went to Australia You ask for one drug that came from Central America and they don't have that They got a completely different drug that came from Thailand Just take my advice and don't do that instead That's not the same thing, I don't care what they say They're not the same thing
