Tulsa and Eleanor Lyrics by Wyatt Flores
Last night I had a dream, same one, it seems
I was sixty-five
At a stoplight bleedin’ red, I got shot in the back of the head
And I came alive
And I wish that it was you, wakin’ me up half past two
But I lost all the sun behind the trees
And I open up my eyes, it’s me in real time
It’s just me
She’s the sweetest thing
Like honeysuckles in the spring while I’m huggin’ the floor
And she swore that she would stay
If I would pour it down the drain, but I poured one more
So goddamn me, in Nashville, Tennessee
Tulsa and Eleanor
She’s as plain as a Bible verse, more than I deserve
And it makes me sad
It’s gettin’ bad, and gettin’ worse I ain’t me without her
And it makes me mad
Wish I could see you one last time, oh, if only in my mind
Would that be enough?
And damnit, I was close, but then I let go
But the one thing that I needed the most
She’s the sweetest thing
Like honeysuckles in the spring while I’m huggin’ the floor
And she swore that she would stay
If I would pour it down the drain, but I poured one more
So goddamn me, in Nashville, Tennessee
So goddamn me, in Nashville, Tennessee
Tulsa and Eleanor
So goddamn me, in Nashville, Tennessee
Tulsa and Eleanor
