lyrics

You called in tears, from a Texas roadside diner
Haven’t talked to you in years, and it’s the day before my birthday but you
Haven’t said a thing cause you’re
Too broken up to speak because you
Haven’t slept a wink because you
Can’t believe he said those things.

You said the day you left that I’m the only one gets you
If I were nicer day to day we could avoid this in the first place.
And if I hadn’t messed this up
that we could be the kind of friends
who had sex every now and then
And didn’t bicker every day.

Who could have let you go?
Who could have let you say those awful things, your dirty mouth
Who could have let you smoke those cigarettes inside the house

You called in tears, from a Texas roadside dinner
Haven’t talked to you in years, and you’re still working in that café, since your
French and English literature
Double major didn’t work out
Quite the way your parents hoped
But maybe they’ll still help you float

You said the day you left, oh how your father was enraged
And I remember how he poured his whiskey on your grandmother’s grave
And if I hadn’t fucked things up
You’d be with me til the end
And we would have all of the cash we need
From your inheritance

Who could have let you go?
Who could have let you write those phony checks all over town
Who could have let you stay in bed all day and run around

And if I hadn’t fucked things up
You’d be with me til the end
And we would have all of the cash we need
All the money we could spend

Who could have let you go?
Who could have let you take the bus when both your tires blew out
Who could have let you kiss those indie boys and turn you down?

Who could have let you bake a birthday cake and throw you out
Who could have touched you in the basement of your parents’ house?

Jacob The Horse Los Angeles, California

Jacob the Horse met on a Greek island when our daughter tricked us into coming to her wedding in order to figure out which one of us was her real father.

Interest includes: loud guitars, catchy melodic hooks, and cramming as many words into their songs as possible.

They’ve been called “too loud” and “fun, but with depressing lyrics” by friends and enemies alike. ... more
