I never asked you for clemency
Never expected a reprieve
I packed my things inside a pillow case
Fully expecting to leave
I had an accident in Texas
Near that house in Wimberley
I rolled my car under a Sycamore
Covered it over like a body
Remember lying in that empty pool Where the planes came through
You said you’re only human I wanna be a human too
I started walking past the ranches
As the cows all called your name
I found a dance hall down on Mercer
It’s never easy to explain
I tried to call you from a pay phone
Country music in my ears
I couldn’t tell if you had answered
The ring just disappeared
Remember walking on the ocean floor And you lost your shoe
You said you’re only human I wanna be a human too
I counted bottles in the mirror
Dripping tears into my beer
I watched a couple from my barstool
He spun her like a puppeteer
I’ll nurse this beer until it’s empty
Wishing I could still atone
And if I’m lucky play my cards right
Maybe someone takes me home
Maybe someone takes me home
