Space City Songtext
von Drive‐By Truckers

If I could have one wish right now
About as half as tough as I pretend I am
I wouldn′t care how empty this old house feels
I take her things and take them far away from here
I make sure no dirt ever got on her name
Looking at that stone wouldn't bring me so much pain
I could go into town wearing my finest clothes
I could turn these tears into blood and make it run ice cold


Space City′s one hour up the road from me
It's one hour away from as close to the moon as anybody down here is ever gonna be
Somewhere beyond that big white light is where my heart is gone
Somewhere she's wondering what′s taking me so long

Hands are as good to me as they′ve ever been
I ain't ashamed of anything my hands ever did
Sometimes the words I used were as hard as my fist
She had the strength of a man and the heart of a child, I guess

Space City′s one hour up the road from me
It's one hour away from as close to the moon as anybody down here is ever gonna be
Somewhere beyond that big white light is where my heart is gone
Somewhere she′s wondering what's taking me so long
