lyrics

She came in with a service dog
Eyes wide shut and a wad of cocaine in her pocket
I held her hand in the parking lot
Asked her where she got that scar and she nearly lost it

She said, “I shot my head,
I shot my heart,
Shot my soul but the gun wouldn’t start,
And I started to pray,

"I lost my friends, lost my faith
Hanging around in a sorry state called Dukeland"

I took her to church and held her close
She took us to McDonalds and we started smoking
We drove all night on Juan Tabo
She asked me, “Is there any place you’d like to go?”
And I said, “You got the rocket.”

She left town on a belly ache
Wrote me a letter from the DEA
And I cried

She said, “Kings may rise and fade away,
But no one dies and no one’s saved in Dukeland."

Get me away from Dukeland.
