White Walls Lyrics by Braxton Keith
Cold beer in a lawn chair, with a sign in the yard saying
“Everything goes ’cause she’s gone”
And dresses in high heels
I’m selling half-off, and take any old frame that you want
They say I’m going out of my mind
‘Cause I can’t get that girl off of mine
I’m down to a mattress on the hardwood
With a bottle of no-good
And white walls in every damn room
The hallways are empty
She left me with memories
And boxes I ain’t sorting through
I try to keep my eyes open
‘Cause girl, when I close ’em
I’ll be looking at you
There’s pills in a bottle as orange as the sun
That don’t work when I only take one
There’s holes in the drywall left to patch up
Seems like work around here’s never done
But I’ve got some time on my hands
And a brush and some paint in a can
I’m down to a mattress on the hardwood
With a bottle of no-good
And white walls in every damn room
The hallways are empty
She left me with memories
And boxes I ain’t sorting through
I try to keep my eyes open
‘Cause girl, when I close ’em
I’ll be looking at you
If she’s gone, why can’t she just go?
She’s all I see every time my eyes close
Down to a mattress on the hardwood
With a bottle of no-good
And white walls in every damn room
The hallways are empty
She left me with memories
And boxes I ain’t sorting through
I try to keep my eyes open
‘Cause girl, when I close ’em
I’ll be looking at you
I’m trying to keep my eyes open
‘Cause girl, when I close ’em
I’ll be looking at you
