The Last Coast

Made nothing from nothing, made shit from shit
Come home to an empty apartment, and that’s as good as it gets
I was raised by strangers five miles from here
If I never see those people again I won’t shed a tear

By the light of the palmetto moon I’m busting out of this godforsaken cage
I’d rather be lost out there than lost at home, least I’ll be lonely in a different place

Mom and Dad, I hope you understand
That you can’t lose something that you never had
So I’m bound for the last coast, for the last coast, for the last coast

Best friend from school lost a leg to an IED
Come home to his wife and baby, hung himself with the dog leash
I’ve heard it said you can’t outrun your ghosts
But if they wanna take a ride with me, baby, then I’m-a drown ‘em on the last coast

And by the light of the palmetto moon I’m busting out of this godforsaken cage
I’d rather be lost out there than lost at home, least I’ll be lonely in a different place

Mom and Dad, I hope you understand
That you can’t lose something that you never had
So I’m bound for the last coast, for the last coast, for the last coast
