Like an animal caught in the cat briar
I was living recklessly
Like a bastard oak in a brush fire
That was just South Texas to me
I lost the only thing I ever loved
It is buried deep beneath
The Chittimwood Coma tree
In the same empty plains
That used to sing to me
I was once scared to death
That I would be next, but
There just ain't much of me left
There ain't nothing here
That ain't already dead
I waited here for you
I waited years for you
I waited here for you
Twenty long years for you
