Hills Like White Elephants

from Local Support by Tyler Key

/

lyrics

Headed south on 61
too many miles but the truck still runs
hills like white elephants
in time.
I never prepared, never thought
I’d get so lucky, get so caught
up in the snares of being loved,
a little bud on the vine.

And there’s the name you had to summon from your family
and the endless calls from all long distance friends
I guess that’s why I’m here in this motel room
where young adults
end up adults in the end.

Run of the mill old milltown blues
I left home, I found you
and hills like white elephants
in time.
We got jobs and moved again
a little bitty place to hem us in
and hills like white elephants
to ease my mind.

And there’s the road that leads me everywhere but backward
and the habits I’ve come to love like dear old friends
Fucked up in this Motel 6 in Nashville
where young adults
end up adults in the end.

I’ll do my best
I’ll do my best
I’ll do my best
I’ll do my best.
