Postcards

Track 1 on Ruin Creek, pub. by Mezclilla Music @ BMI.

RUIN CREEK

I went down to the water 
Just to get myself clean
Saw footprints leading nowhere
And a red tail in the trees
I thought I found what I was looking for
My feet began to sink
And a voice came inside my head
“Stay away from Ruin Creek.”

So I ignored the warning
Just like I’ve always done
Never got in too much trouble
Just enough to call it fun
And then I started wading
I heard somebody scream,
“You ain’t never going home again.
Now you’ve been to Ruin Creek.”

So I stepped out on the other side
Heading westward with the sun
When the moonlight hit my shoulders
I broke into a run
It felt like someone was watching
And panic hit me in the knees
And a bell rang from the willow
Ruin Creek, Ruin Creek

Exhausted from running
The ringing called me back
I was thirsty I was tired
On the forbidden banks I crashed
I started drinking dirty water
I choked and fell asleep
Dreams turn into nightmares
Laying down at Ruin Creek

Well everyone I’ve ever wronged
I would never see again
Everyone I should have listened to
They all used to call me friend
And now I’ve made my last decision
Redemption I’ll never see
I lost everything I ever had
When I found Ruin Creek
And a voice came inside my head,
“Stay away from Ruin Creek.”
I ain’t never going home again
Now I’ve been to Ruin Creek
And a bell rang from the willow
Ruin Creek, Ruin Creek
