Bumper in the Hail

by Courtney Marie Andrews

on No One's Slate is Clean (2011)

[Verse 1]
Barnyard creeks
Your mother speaks
Will you head into town to get her some things?
That night the moon wasn't sharp enough
To cut through the clouds
Another rainy night with you, locked inside
Another dream, another dim-lit light

[Chorus]
Let's not talk about things that we can break
There's no goin' back once it's made
No takin' back the things we say

[Verse 2]
My bumper's fallin' off again
We'll duct tape it in the hail
I'll call you when I'm back on The 5
That night we talked about our doctors
And the valley of the sun
I laughed with ten strangers, and I could've called it love
The problem is, you see, I see a little bit of me in everyone I meet

[Chorus]
Let's not talk about things that we can break
There's no goin' back once it's made
No takin' back the things we say

[Outro]
My mind the critic
Has nothin', has nothin to complain about
Has nothin', nothin to say
Has nothin', nothin to say
Has nothin', nothin to say
