El-Ay
In the beginning I was strong, nothing could get through
Road out ahead was long, oh what I thought I knew
Day after day I woke up mad, angry at something
Little could ease my mind, man is a foolish thing
You get some whiskey
You don't know what for
You grow up quickly
You drain the reservoir
Thought I would travel 'cross the land however I saw fit
No matter how obvious most things I never get
You put some miles on
You don't know where to
You change your makeup
And fool everyone who doesn't know you
You become stronger
You won't be held back
Any longer
You open your own doors
Here in El-Ay the nights are warm, days are warmer still
Everyone looks real fine
And falls for every thrill
Unusual rainbows fill the sky, the air is thick as thieves
Nobody ever asks you why, or for what you grieve
Here is the end of the western world
Here is the end of the country girl
Here is the end of an angry man
Here you can be something
