Blankets (acoustic Version)

I met her at a racetrack, it was right before some concert
On a blanket selling bracelets, she was searching for a sponsor
I moved her to Montana, we hung on for several summers
It got druggy and we crumbled, but still I never haven't loved her

When you panic in the city, it feels like one too many walls
When it thunders in the canyon, you get the feeling you're too small

I washed up and I wandered, did whatever business looked the best
Found a savior then I lost him, had a kid and all the rest
Then the doctor left a message
Said, "We're looking at these numbers from your tests"

When you're lonely on the prairie
There's still a couple people you can call
When it thunders in the canyon, you get the feeling you're too small

The detective was expensive, but he
Thought it was something he could solve
He found her serving breakfast in a cafe in a skyway in St. Paul
When we got to the Twin Cities, I said
"Man, I know some songs about this place"
When they swept up all the empties, the
Parties always seemed like such a waste

When you panic in the city, it feels like one too many walls
There's an absence of a middle, people are all higher in withdrawal
When you're lonely on the prairie
There's still a couple people you can call
When it thunders in the canyon, you get the feeling you're too small

When they're down there on the blankets
You can see the lifetime in their eyes
You can purchase what they offer, see
If they've got something on the side
You live your whole life just to travel to the place you're gonna die
You travel your whole life just to
Get out to the place you're gonna die
