Lyrics of Elk City by Samantha Crain
Get me outta this town
Get me outta this dream
I′ve been drinkin away
All my money
See I was 17
When I came to this place
In a boyfriend's Colt wagon on the 40 interstate
He told me we′d be rich
Get on at the GHK company
That the Anadarko Basin's
Where you wanted to be
We pitched a tent in the park
Its all we could do
Weren't no rooms anywhere
I hoped that job would come through
He said just one more night
Can you give me one more night?
He got outta that town
When the boom turned to bust
Didn′t say where he went
Never told any of us
I almost moved to Dallas
With my best friend Kathleen
But I met a guy at the Longhorn
He said he could fix my washing machine
How′s tomorrow night?
Yeah tomorrow night
Well that night turned into 9 months
Sitting on my ass
Waiting for a baby
My first and my last
And she's all grown up now
Got into college and everything
So she beat her mama out of that town
Out of Elk City
I can only do one more night
Just one more night
I can only stand one more night
Just one more night
I can only stay one more night
Just one more night
Outside the Pale
I bet you want a bargain, I hear you want to take cover
Running like a yawn from one mouth to another
You and I, we′re blacktop rough, common as the dirt
Sniveling into the phone, trying to help our sisters hurt
Outside the pale
Outside the pale
Time is only loved at night, night is only loved at death
The underdogs of human thought within the infrared
You and I, we tell the stories the TV won't release
They keep us in the wild under branch and thorn and tree
Outside the pale
Outside the pale
Its such a blow to reach above, split loyalty and name
The fence just isn′t real but to this very modern day
All you see is sex and property, when we run this damn machine
Holding all the riches but it still feels like a dream
Outside the pale
Outside the pale
