lyrics

Sold my ticket home for change
Two dimes a nickel and cheap cocaine
You were back home pacing
Your mouth was a racing
You were naked as a jay bird
As the whole town was facing

Old shop keep said you were talking a big game
You were spreading your legs like you spread my name
To every damn patron that’ll watch you sing
You even bought blow with my wedding ring

I think I’ll stay here in West Killeen
Sally’s back home on Amphetamines

Word got home that I was running around
With a two timin’ flewzy from our home town
Sally started drinking, started getting mean
Threw my Prine records into Lake Marie

Sprayed my name by the old service pump
At the Exxon station where the whole town comes
Traffic lights were down as she hit the post running
And she shook her fist loudly like another thing coming

I think I’ll stay here in West Killeen
Sally’s back home on Amphetamines

She sold all my things out that old house
Ain’t a damn word you heard were true

Now she’s burning bridges like a lighting in a bottle
Gets my ford up to 80 as she pounds on the throttle
Praying to the lord, while cursing my name
Driving through town like a white hot flame

I think I’ll stay here in West Killeen
Sally’s back home on Amphetamines

She shot two straight holes through my windows
She took my heart and bent it in two

It’s been about a year, but it seems like 10
She’s running from the law time and time again
Flashing all the truckers, stealing from others
Cursing every person from her mother to her brother

So I ain’t coming home anytime soon
There’s a rapture waiting on me and the town is praying too
I’m just fine living my life pristine
I ain’t coming home until she hits the ward clean

I think I’ll stay here in West Killeen
Sally’s back home on Amphetamines
