When We Were Writers Indigo Girls

[Verse 1: Emily Saliers]
Look a gift horse in the mouth go get a job
Last best deal I ever got was a quarter for a beer on the quad
Nevilles singing on a makeshift stage you sittin' on a towel in the shade
Came from a foreign town, and you smoked a joint with Jackson Browne

[Pre-Chorus: Emily Saliers, Amy Ray, Both]
What if my pain won’t deliver me? (What if my stasis)
What if my stasis crushes me with boredom?
If I read into everything you say to me
I will never get the meaning of your words like when you wrote them

[Chorus: Emily Saliers, Amy Ray, Both]
When we were writers (When we were writers)
When we were fighters (We were fighters)
Before we found purpose and made deals with God
Let’s pull an all nighter push wood in the fire
It might just look like smoke in my eyes
But I’m still burning inside

[Verse 2: Emily Saliers, Emily Saliers & Amy Ray]
Some sailed the calmer seas serial monogamy
Best trip I ever took was on the ship that I wrecked and how I got set free
Strange boy in the Vegas summer
Dancing by the pool to a different drummer
Maybe a heat mirage or a message in camouflage
