It was mid-july
in the late evening
hurricanes came from the south
and this started bleeding

west texas alone
is far few between
tonight was record
you'll see just what I mean

at fences down
we fell in love
you set me up
to knock me down

this world in clouds
brought sky to ground
you set me up
to knock me down

distraught by fortune
debranded by fame
you searched the world over
and found it's all the same

west texas alone
is far few between
tonight was record
you'll see just what I mean

at fences down
we fell in love
you set me up
to knock me down

this world in clouds
brought sky to ground
you set me up
to knock me down

this river grew too big for walls
they skated north
it seemed too good to be true

for it's getting you no where
it gets you no where
and it seemed too good
it seemed too good
it seemed too good
