Lucy Dacus Forever Half Mast Lyrics

I'm takin' back roads all the way back home
Everything I've done, just a little lovely crow
I didn't choose this town, I can't undo it now
I tried to love the beast no matter what it thinks of me

You're worried that you'll go to Hell
For all the lives that you can't save
For all the money that you waste
For all the good you throw away

Yes, you're evil, but you're not that bad
You put out your palm more than the back of your hand
They were wrong when they said forget the past
Let your flag fly at forever half mast
Let your flag fly at forever half mast

We're in a state of disarray united by our darkest days Achin' from the growing pains, they always say it's just a phase
America, the tried and true, red and white and black and blue
Tell me, who did this to you? If it was me I hardly knew

Yes, you're evil, but you're not that bad
You put out your palm more than the back of your hand
They were wrong when they said forget the past
Let your flag fly at forever half mast
Let your flag fly at forever half mast

Off you run and run for more
Nobody escaped before
Wait for something magical
Mistake turn into miracle
