lyrics

Got a thousand virtues
If you want id sell them to you
Got a thousand virtues
To this day not one’s shone through

Been sleeping in Nevada weather
Drink'in in California too
Nothing in this southwest land
Says I’m comin home to you

I've been wearing masks of sorts
Been breathing smokey air too
Toss the face I can’t trick you with
That second skins been gettin me the night through

I lost my heart in Santa Fe
The Midwest got the best of me
They got my soul in some East coast bay
Pack my home be on my way

Crushed velvet and room to roam
They keep the best company
When I wrote my name on that mirror wall
Left to claim my solitary

No, God damn never looking back
Walk inside these snakeskin blues
Making tracks in the sand there forever
Until the wind blows through
I've got those snakeskin blues
