It All Comes Back Someday

Lyrics

You shot bolt upright in the middle of the dark
 As she drove her motorcycle through the trailer park
 A hundred miles an hour no helmet on her head
 'Til that concrete drain was runnin' cherry red
 Used to sit and drink coffee at the Waffle House
 Had to spin up her wheels just to get it out
 [Chorus:]
 Now it all comes back to haunt you
 Yeah, it comes back anytime it wants to
 It all comes back through the holes and the cracks
 Where you thought you let it slip away
 Yeah, it all comes back some day
 Feelin' bad about yourself, you were seven years old
 So you got her in the bushes where you had some control
 Tied up her hands so she couldn't fight fair
 Threw a jar of silver model car paint in her hair
 After all these years does the shoe still fit?
 Have you only just now started wearin' it?
 [Chorus]
 The way she combed her hair
 Straight across a minute where you could have died
 You thought love was something that you had to hide
 To survive
 All those lives you thought you lived away
 There ain't a one showin' any kinda sign of decay
 They're all stacked on your head like infinity's crown
 The truth is you ain't never lived anything down
 You're bound up forever to the blood on the trail
 To the tires on the gravel to the rust on the rail
 [Chorus]
