bound to forget - jim white lyrics

“bound to forget”

fools wind blowing up brown bible verses
dust storm of memory
truck stop reverie
3 am in my home town
not a soul stirring around
mr. trucker man
don’t slow down in this little town
’cause i’m traveling faster than the speed of regret
what i was born knowing
i was bound to forget
in the blindness of being
what i was born seeing
i was just plain bound to forget
yes, i was just plain bound to forget
now my tank run dry two hours out of tucson
by three little crosses on the side of the highway
still as a box full of busted watches
i settle debts with the dead and keep right on
i keep on keeping on
pedal to the metal on the wide open highway
criss-cross the high plains of bright-eyed solitude
i tailgate a truck-load of tabula rasa
’til my mind go clearer than the highway west of el paso
guess i’m traveling faster than the speed of regret
what i was born knowing i was bound to forget
in the blindness of being what i was born seeing
i was just plain bound to forget
yes i was just plain bound to forget
now, 24/7 in the end my friend
gotta go at god’s speed
no never relent
lest the soul-sucking, sneaky-deaky, belly-aching past like a ssssnake
in the gr-sssssssss ssssstrike and bury your -ssssssss. so keep your eyes on the prize on the distant horizon
be wary of the wind and the bad moon rising
knowing in your going, somehow, some way
that you’ll out-run your shadow
yes you will, one fine day
’cause you’re traveling faster than the speed of regret
what i was born knowing i was bound to forget
in the blindness of being what i was born seeing
i was just plain bound to forget
yes i was just plain bound to forget.
