I Love You But Damn

lyrics

Cannonball down the yellow line
Headed East, losing time.
How many miles we got left?

You’re back home getting your degree,
explaining me to your family-
It’s been a rocky start, but he’s awful sweet.

I love you but damn,
I love you but damn.

Drove all day for a cancelled show.
Slept in the van, nowhere to go.
At least tomorrow I’ll see the coast.

Getting trashed, losing sleep,
gas station food to eat.
The closest thing I’d ever felt to free.

I love you but damn,
I love you but damn-
I guess I’ll learn to love myself someday.
I love you but damn,
I love you but damn-
I’ve gotta learn to love myself someday.

Well it’s kind of the same out here,
which is kinda what I feared.
Proof I’m not looking in the mirror.

Drove all night till the engine stalled
pulled it together for a call-
straight to voicemail, rambling on...

I love you but damn,
I love you but damn-
I guess I’ll learn to love myself someday.
I love you but damn,
I love you but damn-
I’ve gotta learn to love myself someday.

But I don’t even know what state I’m in
sorry you’re sleeping alone again.
I passed out in the back seat
Dreamed of you in the dry heat.

I don’t even know what state I’m in.
Lost my phone in Reno, calling from a friend’s.
Sorry if it’s late there,
It’s not like I don’t care.

But I don’t even know what state I’m in.
I don’t even know what state I’m in.
I don’t even know what state I’m in.
I don’t even know...

I love you but damn,
I love you but damn-
I kinda lose myself when you’re so far away.

I love you but damn,
I love you but damn-
I guess I’ll learn to love myself someday.
I’ve gotta learn to love myself someday.
I guess I’ll learn to love myself,
I’ve gotta learn to love myself someday.
