Words of Acadiana

 Tried to make it work  Realizing now what don’t belong to me never will  What doesn’t feel right will never thrill  Tore each other up  Like a couple of tornadoes  Resurfacing the landscape  ‘til all that was left was debris  What don’t belong to me  Just won’t ever be  Worth chasing  Worth wasting  My precious time  Going back would be like staying on  The scene of the crime  Begging to get caught  I feel much too free for any of that 

 Drove my way from the Panhandle  To see if I could handle  Them blue eyes out in the desert  Proverbial shovel  Excavating rubble  Just to see if my heart still had its beat  And just like the Marfa sun  The thought of your touch warmed my blood  So I showed up  Hand on my hip  Ego big as Texas  ‘Til I caught a glimpse  And after all this time  You still do it to me  Ain’t like no other  Leaving me to discover  What I’ve searched for all along  Stood out in the desert calling  Now I nosedive  Deep in your love  There’s exhilaration in the fall  What took me so damn long?
