A Pillar Of Salt

Chucking a hay bail onto a flatbed truck
Grandpa’s farm in 1999
At the edge of the end of the world, resetting the clocks
Doesn’t sound that crazy after all

The angel said to lot and his family
Get the hell outta dodge
If you wanna dodge the hell that’s coming

But I would rather be a pillar of salt
For taking one last look
Then live without the memory of it all

So take my hand for one more dance
Slowly round the kitchen
I know that I’ve been worrying you
With all these long aching glances back over my shoulder
But honey it’s just what I have to do

Climbing a bed sheet tied into a makeshift rope
From the second story window of a bar
Escaping the local ghost in 2009
I think about that morning all the time

Watching the Sun rise, waving my hand
Out the open window of the car
I was a lonely kid chasing the wind
It’s a wonder that I made it this far

So take my hand for one more dance
Slowly round the kitchen
I know that I’ve been worrying you
With all these long aching glances back over my shoulder
Honey it’s just what I have to do

Will all this time treading water
Make my legs that much stronger

Take my hand for one more dance
Slowly round the kitchen
I know that I’ve been worrying you
With all these long aching glances back over my shoulder
But honey it’s just what I have to do
Honey it’s just what I have to do
