Drive-By Truckers - Space City lyrics

If I could have one wish right now
I'd be about as half as tough
As I pretend I am
Then I wouldn't care how empty
This old house feels
I could take her things and take
Them far away from here
I could make sure no dirt
Ever got on her name
Cause looking at that stone wouldn't
Bring me so much pain i could go into town
Wearing my finest clothes
I could turn these tears into blood
And make it run ice cold

Space City's one hour up the road from me
One hour away from as close to the moon
As anybody down here is ever gonna be
And somewhere beyond that big white light
Is where my heart is gone
And somewhere she's wondering what's


Taking me so long my hands are as good to
Me as they've ever been
And I ain't ashamed of anything
My hands ever did
But sometimes the words I used were
As hard as my fist
She had the strength of a man and
The heart of a child I guess
