lyrics

I was making my way
When I fell apart,
Sinking in,
All the things that you miss
Back in this place,
Weeks maybe more.

The wheels are rolling in oil,
Yes they do,
And they came,
And they saw
How much money could mean,
We’re falling in love
With a car, house,
For a wife
And the start of a dream.

It’s a frightening part
When you’re in too long,
Becomes routine,
I got so drunk I can’t see
This shitty motel,
Is she cheating on me?
Your thoughts drag the sunrise
A million birds across the sky.

The wheels are rolling in oil,
Yes they do,
And they came,
And they saw
How much money could mean,
We’re falling in love
With a car, house,
For a wife
And the start of a dream.

I wanna go where the wild rose grows,
I wanna go where the wild rose grows,
I’m gonna go where the wild rose grows,
I’m gonna go where the wild rose grows,
I gotta go where the wild rose grows.

The wheels are rolling in oil,
Yes they do,
And they came,
And they saw
How much money could mean,
We’re falling in love
With a car, cash, wife, dream.

The wheels are rolling in oil,
Yes they do,
And they came,
And they saw
How much money could mean,
We’re falling in love
With a car, house,
For a wife
And the start of a dream.
