Going to Lubbock

Going to Lubbock is song number 2 on Infidelity.

Lyrics
He drove north out of Dallas on a Tuesday afternoon The summer wind was sweet in his mouth As the engine whistled a solitary tune Ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere Among the rocks and the tumbleweeds and the dust He popped the trunk and he pulled out the shovel And punched the dull blade through the earth's tough crust When he dug up the human skull that was bigger than a basketball He took one step back He took one step back Into the sunlight He stood there by the roadside Underneath the clear blue sky And ancient stories ran through his mind As the certain detail caught his eye There was a pronounced depression Along the skull's occipital bone Space burned in the dry June sun And his forehead dripped like an ice cream cone He laid the skull down gently in the backseat And in his mouth the summer wind was sweet He took one step back He took one step back Into the sunlight
