The Three Mile Haul

[Intro]
[Verse]
Found it in a dusty bin
Smelling like a basement sin
Cuffs are frayed and buttons loose
Worn down by some old abuse
Now it’s on a stranger’s chair
While I’m breathing cold night air
[Pre-Chorus]
Half-empty cans on the floor
I should’ve checked by the door
Linoleum stained with cheap lime
I’m wasting all of my time
[Chorus]
It’s a three mile haul
Through the neon sprawl
Just to feel that weight
Before it’s way too late
Yeah, I need that thread
To clear out my head
It’s just a jacket, right?
But I’m walking tonight
[Post-Chorus]
Walking tonight (Oh-oh)
Holding it tight (Oh-oh)
Lost in the light
[Verse]
Left a ticket in the sleeve
From a show I didn’t leave
Crumpled paper, faded ink
I’m a total mess, I think
Stumbling past the closed-up shops
Praying that the rhythm drops
Snarky comments in my brain
Walking through the light-blue rain
[Pre-Chorus]
Seltzer cans are going flat
I’m way too old for that
Linoleum sticky and cold
At least the story’s been told
[Chorus]
It’s a three mile haul
Through the neon sprawl
Just to feel that weight
Before it’s way too late
Yeah, I need that thread
To clear out my head
It’s just a jacket, right?
But I’m walking tonight
[Breakdown]
[Bridge]
It wasn't just the corduroy
It was the momentary joy
A shield against the social static
Feeling something so cinematic
Now I’m just a guy in a tee
Missing who I used to be
[Hook]
Left it there
I don't care
Wait, I do
Found it new
That vintage blue
[Chorus]
It’s a three mile haul
Through the neon sprawl
Just to feel that weight
Before it’s way too late
Yeah, I need that thread
To clear out my head
It’s just a jacket, right?
But I’m walking tonight
[Outro]
