about

Recorded at Turner Hill, Ipswich MA, 2009. Brion Regan was the engineer and ghostly guitar player on this song.

lyrics

There are bullet shells all along Broadway
Neon flooding my eyes
And I feel so defeated and hungry
In the river of passerby
I stick out just like a sore thumb out here
My neighborhood stained on my tongue
I think at least I've got the right clothes on
The boots you bought me are holding up fine
I remember you said you hated Canal Street
Well so do I babe, so do I

Maybe I ain't found nothing
Maybe I ain't found nothing out here
Maybe I ain't found nothing better than you

Summertime night, girl sitting on a stoop
With her darting eyes made up cheap
She reminds me I'm not home
And you come ringing through my bones
Like a promise I could never keep
And I'm stemming for change alone
For the ten dollar bus ride home
This is where my dreams have brought me tonight

Maybe I ain't found nothing
Maybe I ain't found nothing out here
Maybe I ain't found nothing better than you

They say this city never sleeps
But I've seen it nodding out at peace
With a fond look on its face
Like its remembering the arms
Of somebody that it left behind
In a far off more genuine time
And I miss you that way
I miss you that way

I'm never lost long, because there's always a light
That burns through the concrete blinds
It tells me you're my home and you come ringing my bones
Like you've done a thousand other times
I'm stemming for change alone
For the ten dollar bus ride home
This is where your love has brought me tonight
