Thoroughfare (Demo) Ethel Cain

[Verse 1]
You fell in love with America when you were twelve years old
And by seventeen, you knew you had to see it all
You loved your dad and the love he had for your mother, so
You had to get out and go chasin' its sweet call

[Verse 2]
I met you there in Texas somewhere on the thoroughfare
On the side of the road in some torn-up clothes and a pistol in my pocket
I didn't trust no one, but you said, "Baby, don't run, I'll take you anywhere"
So I hopped right in, out of fucks to give, 'cause at least your truck beats walking

[Chorus]
And you said, "Hey, do you wanna see the west with me?
'Cause love's out there and I can't leave it be"
And I said, "Honey, love's never meant much to me
But I'll come with you if you're sure it's what you need"

[Verse 3]
So we made off for California
To find your lover, drivin' day and night
And every small town diner
Saw our faces at least once or twice
But in these motel rooms
I started to see you differently, oh
'Cause for the first time since I was a child
I could see a man who wasn't angry
