Old Post Creek

[Verse 1]
I should tell you to home, but
I can't stand being alone and
I need somebody here to remind me who I am
It's been a while since I've seen things right
I guess that's what lonesome does to the mind
But then again, nobody's ever been to kind to me, yeah

[Chorus]
I think I'll go to the old post creek
And sit in the dirt and pretend that it's the sea
Because I am a master at tricking myself into things
And I want to believe
That I'm not too weak
To accept what I will see
When you leave

[Verse 2]
Just one more bottle of wine 'cause
It's too much effort for the peace of mind
And when the core burns out, it's seconds before the outside, dry
See, you can't keep running from the things that live in your heart
When there's feet on the pavement, love in the dark
Shadows upon the oak

[Chorus]
I think I'll go to the old post creek
And sit in the dirt and pretend that it's the sea
Because I am a master at tricking myself into things
And I want to believe
That I'm not too weak
To accept what I will see
When you leave
