Red Shahan - Culberson County

{Verse 1}
There's a feeling in the first step
I'm losing my mind
But the further I go west
I'm feelin' alright
Out in Culberson County
You can hear those coyotes cry
Won't be long before they're all gone
Just the highway's line

{Verse 2}
I had a big imagination
I lose it every day
I never use my education
Didn't learn anything
Out in Culberson County
You can hear those coyotes cry
Won't be long before they're all gone
Just the highway's line

{Chorus}
Let's keep the lonely places lonely as long as we can
Let's keep it out of reach from anyone who doesn't understand
Burn all the alibis, the bridges that won't give in
Let's keep the lonely places lonely as long as we can

{Verse 3}
There's a body on the sidewalk
I think it's me, who cares
Standing over such a letdown
I probably shouldn't stare
When the pieces come together
The distance isn't all that far
Won't be long before they pay the dime
Just the highway's line

{Chorus}
Let's keep the lonely places lonely as long as we can
Let's keep it out of reach from anyone who doesn't understand
Burn all the alibis, the bridges that won't give in
Let's keep the lonely places lonely as long as we can
