[00:00:00] Closer to the Truth and Further from the Sky - Butch Walker

[00:00:02] Written by：Butch Walker

[00:00:12] Ribbons went flying out the window

[00:00:15] As we drove down the interstate

[00:00:18] Sex was something so brand new

[00:00:21] It was hard as hell to wait

[00:00:24] She made faces at the goddamn rednecks

[00:00:27] And said look at you boy you must worship Satan

[00:00:30] Just because I had the same long hair

[00:00:33] As the Jesus in all their paintings

[00:00:36] Every church just made me scared

[00:00:38] Of words like servant and faith and congregation

[00:00:43] In a world with so many answers left

[00:00:45] Why do I need so many explanations

[00:00:48] To get closer to the truth and further from the sky

[00:01:03] Check check

[00:01:07] And the static singes the speakers

[00:01:09] Like a thousand hymns of inspiration

[00:01:13] The road just winds through the canyon

[00:01:15] Like a big black snake headed for salvation

[00:01:19] And I'm getting closer to the truth and further from the sky

[00:01:25] A roadside venue wall papered and menus

[00:01:28] In a town that forgot its own name

[00:01:31] We were hungry for anything that had a pulse

[00:01:34] As we freed ourselves from the rain

[00:01:37] There's a disgruntled metal head playing guitar

[00:01:40] For a pop singer up on the screen

[00:01:43] With his guitar held high and his head held low

[00:01:46] He just wants a chance to be seen

[00:01:49] And the static singes the speakers

[00:01:52] Like a thousand hymns of inspiration

[00:01:55] The road just winds through the canyon

[00:01:59] Like a big black snake headed for salvation

[00:02:02] And I'm getting closer to the truth and further from the sky

[00:02:44] Well he tells me at the bar that he's on his last leg

[00:02:47] That he used to have it all in his hands

[00:02:50] That the girls don't think much of him these days

[00:02:53] It's just hard for him to understand

[00:02:56] 'Cause he's a little bit older and a little bit thin

[00:02:59] But he's still got his heart in a sling

[00:03:02] And we paid for the drinks and the bartender drinks

[00:03:05] And it couldn't be more late yeah we're all so late

[00:03:08] 'Cause the static singes the speakers

[00:03:11] Like a thousand hymns of inspiration

[00:03:15] The road just winds through the canyon

[00:03:17] Like a big black snake headed for salvation

[00:03:21] And I'm getting closer to the truth and further from the sky
