Under Your Skin - Carrie Newcomer

I spent time in a truck stop, time pouring coffee

I was wearing my hair long, I was loving an angry man

I wore too much eyeliner

I spent time in a new town, playing covers for tips

I spent my birthday this year in Ohio in a Day’s Inn hotel

It’s all in who you are and where you’ve been

That gets into your bones that get under your skin

It’s not just the memories you take from them

That gets into your bones than get written on your heart

That gets under your skin

I spent time on Lake Michigan, we were drinking in high school

We were restless and waiting, restless and wanting

For something to break

And time and another I was watching it wither

I was holding my hands out, holding my hands up

Holding it together

There have been people and partings

And those things that you should have seen coming

There have been memories and moments

And those faces you can’t forget

I lay back with my baby, we were lit up like lanterns

We were rolling like laughter, rolling like thunder

Rolling around in your arms

It’s a strange adventure, this whole getting older

There is so much to measure, so much to treasure

So much to grieve

And there is a girl at the counter and she’s pouring me coffee

She’s wearing her hair long, she’s got too much eyeliner

Like I used to wear

She 's pouring me coffee, she’s got to much eyeliner

Like I used to wear
