Catherine Antrim's Kid

[Verse 1]

Brush all the dust of Kansas

Off of my special shoes

When the coach lets us out at the corner store

Mom was coughing like an old man, shivering like a cold man

And I found some trouble to get into

And the admiration was mutual

Split my winnings with mom 55/45

But it didn't keep her alive

[Chorus]

I got lost out there in New Mexico

Nothing to lose nowhere to go

I got lost when my lucky stars crossed

[Verse 2]

That night I dreamt about Ft. Stanton

Though I didn't know to call it that yet

And the night wrapped me up in its long dark embrace

I had that same expression on as that one picture of my face

Which was all anyone would ever know about me

After my visitors got done with me

I lay down singing on the porch blood streaming from my mouth

Sounded kind of like Paul Westerberg but to tell you the truth

[Chorus]

I got lost out there in New Mexico

Nothing to lose nowhere to go

I got lost when my lucky stars crossed
