the swellers
clean slate
No more dreams of the southwest I just got a taste And a little dust from every state Caught underneath my shoes That'll never wash away  I'm no stranger to the rust We made this with our hands From a billion other grains of sand I'd rather have gray skies Spotlights can burn through any man  Call it a clean slate Not just a mistake For all this time, all this time It may be different But I don't feel so bad now  There are no promises out there Maybe I can't see straight It eventually evaporates Got a slight change of plans I'll call some good friends of mine  I'm never going back Or at least for some time And first a train off track I'll come back like an avalanche  Call it a clean slate Not just a mistake For all this time, all this time It may be different But I don't feel so bad now  I'll find myself I'll find myself  Call it a clean slate Not just a mistake For all this time, all this time It may be different But I don't feel so bad now  Call it a clean slate Not just a mistake For all this time, all this time It may be different But I don't feel so bad now
