Strung out,
down in a hole
and the ocean is bleedin' salt
on the mark

So I had
this army has marched
but you found me awake, but asleep
on your porch

And don't you cry my darlin'
Nashville is forgotten

And don't you cry my darlin'
New York is the ocean

Brooklyn,
Quiet and cold when the bars close
You're stuck countin' cracks on the street

The war breaks
and you're swingin' a gun
when the bomb drops
you're stuck countin' cracks in your teeth

And don't you cry my darlin'
Nashville is forgotten

And don't you cry my darlin'
New York is the ocean

Strung out,
down in a hole
and the ocean is bleedin' salt
on the mark
