There’s a white death stick burning on my lips
Black coffee and nicotine in my blue veins
There’re snowy mountains in my eyes
A cold Colorado wind on my skin
There’s an acoustic guitar in my ears
A million thoughts flashing in my brain
Yesterday’s fireworks in my night
There’s a sweet love burning in my guts
Keeping me warm thousands of miles away
There’s a smile on my tired face
Thoughts of home and her and them keep me going
Through another freezing winter
There’s an invincible summer inside of me
Yes, hope is one tough candle
There’s a tickling feeling in my throat
Words that want to break free
And now there’s my whole beating heart on the page
It never left, and it never will
