about

The ghost of Hank Williams kept me company one dark morning in an airport in Michigan. Fueled by airport coffee, I figured i'd give this one my best shot, if only for him.

lyrics

He wasn't long awake before he poured another makers mark and wept
The apron hung like a tapered candle
The coffee on the stove went cold again
He thought about calling here when all the time her parting words resound:
"Oh my darling you're my finest hour, but I'm better at being lost than being found-
So don't you wait for me - you'll find better company
Yes my darlin' you'll be fine without me on your mind

The highway hides a hundred hearts. The motel sees another sun go down
Tomorrow's for the taking
The horizon don't know why and it don't care how
She wonders who would answer if she called the home she left so long ago
Where mama took her in her arms and tried to tell her why she had to go
She said
Don't you wait for me - you'll find better company
Yes my darlin' you'll be fine without me on your mind

She leans back on the bed, lets the day run through her head before she sleeps
And in the dark, that's where her heart goes hiding til the morning comes

And Marylin Monroe is lying rolled up on the floor in a magazine
How she wonders at her smile and how she learned to hide while being seen
In the morning light she likes the drive. The wind blows through her hair of platinum blond
The motel in the rear view mirror is slowly getting smaller til it's gone

Don't you wait for me - you'll find better company
Yes my darlin' you'll be fine without me on your mind
