A HUNDRED MILES FROM ANYWHERE (Hiorns) Oct. 2013

Been down to the station
There’s people running everywhere
They say that it’s too late now
They say that they don’t care
Heard all kinds of warnings
Just don’t pay it any mind
Yes I’ve seen that railroad
I’ve seen them ghost trains fly

Blinded by mirrors
Shoot them down with pride
You don’t have any answers
And you don't know where to hide

And now the waters rising
Now the fields are bare
Now I’m 10 years older
A hundred miles from anywhere

Down in San Francisco
They’re begging on the street
Begging on the waterfront
Begging just to breathe
I heard a lot of things
From the crazies down on Pine
They say it’ll all come down
It’s just a matter of time

So you run back to the mountain
With a pistol in your hand
And you cry for the poor man
Till the sun rise on the sand

And now the days are colder
There’s a chill that fills the air
Now I’m 10 years older
A hundred miles from anywhere
