the u.s. of ache

i was one line in a diary in kansas

she was a theme in my serious heart

we had sex in detroit

rave reviews in boston on the road to pittsburgh closing

night in dallas

then we said goodbye

i send echoes cross state lines

chocolates by wire

telegrams by the hour

meet me in the middle of the u.s. of ache

there must be a town in the middle of america

where we can meet and start again

i guess she wants to keep me her secret

and i just want to give my secret away

i send echoes cross state lines

chocolates by wire

telegrams by the hour

meet me in the middle of the u.s. of ache

i can't get to florida

without driving through kansas

cigarettes and motor oil

i know she's never been to heaven

and i sure as hell can't fine her here on earth

i send echoes cross state lines

chocolates by wire

telegrams by the hour

meet me in the middle of the u.s. of ache
