i have no history - dar williams lyrics

[verse 1]
if i leave this time of night, his street will have me dead
with its doorways and its dumpsters and the crack house up ahead
sometimes i wish to h*ll
he’d time his speeches well
but he’s gotta get this off his chest, now here we go again
he thinks he’s getting old
and there’s his future
his ex*girlfriend thinks to be
he cannot sleep with me
he says it’s best to stay
i might leave anyway

[chorus]
i have no history
no revolutionary cause to claim my soul
only he lying next to me
gives the terms of his abandonment
he catalogues his destiny
he finds he has no room for me

[verse 2]
like a true american i’m traveling, traveling far
i’m at a texaco in new mexico and from there i find a bar
there’s only one man there
soon he pulls up a chair
pours tequila on his filthy breath and here we go again
he talks of indians
hopi dancing, alcoholics
wounded knee
he thinks he loves me
he says they greet the sun
i wonder if he’s won
[chorus]
i have no history
no revolutionary cause to claim my soul
only he lying next to me
gives the terms of his abandonment
he catalogues his destiny
he finds he has no room for me

[verse 3]
every day’s an invitation, just get out of bed
opportunities for women to strive and get ahead
just like a tv show
with plenty more to go
so today i’ll try to want to care and here i go again
it might be getting worse
and there’s my future
my ex*boyfriend thinks to do
i cannot help you
i guess that no one wins
get out your violins

[chorus]
we have no history
no revolutionary cause to claim our souls
and oh, we had that destiny
he found he had no room for me
