Ryan Adams – 29

Ryan Adams – 29 Lyrics

Artist: Ryan Adams
Song: 29

I was a poor little kid in the lungs of New York
Like a motherless son of a b*t*h
Loaded on ephedrine looking for downers and coke
Like a sun that just wouldn’t set out on the horizon

Singing and dancing to them nighttime songs
I took a train and I came up from Carolina
I was looking for something to do
Nothing I found could ever quite occupy me

And with nothing to gain there’s always nothing to lose
Singing and dancing to them nighttime songs
Cry me a river till the morning comes
I should’ve died a hundred thousand times

Teetering, stoned off the side of buildings
Nobody loved me and nobody ever tried
You can’t hang on to something that won’t stop moving
Singing and dancing to them nighttime songs

I got arrested down south for hitting a clerk
I spit in his face, the b*st*rd knocked me out
He leered at my lady and then he touched her face
Thank God she had the money to bail me out

Singing and dancing to them nighttime songs
Cry me a river till the morning comes
Bar room boogie, just like in the movies
Go on put it to me, shake it till the rattles come on

Take me where the morning don’t come
I had a dog named Jet, when I was a kid
Until one day he wandered off and died
One night I went in the yard and I dug him up

And he lay in that box just like a pile of bones
Singing and dancing to them nighttime songs
I used to get loaded and baby I’d drive your car
It seemed like there was always a cop

Coming up behind me and following as close as he could
Until eventually he’d just trail off
Loaded and cruising to them nighttime songs
Cry me a river till the morning comes

Bar room boogie just like in the movies
Go on put it to me, shake it till the rattles come on
Take me where the morning won’t come
I think I died a hundred thousand times

Mixing liquor with them mystery pills
Mystery pills and her#in mixed into cocaine
Face down lyin’ on the riverside
Most of my friends are married and making them babies

To most of them I already died
And whatever it is about you I’ve always hated
There’s something about myself I just couldn’t hide
And I’m going, going baby I’m almost gone

So cry me a river to the other side of the morn’
To where the morning won’t come
To where the morning won’t come
To where the morning won’t come

To where the morning won’t come
To where the morning won’t come
To where the morning won’t come
To where the morning won’t come

To where the morning won’t come
