There’s a white van parked
In an empty lot and the night falls dark
On a white van parked
There's a white van sitting there and
No one seems to even care if it starts
And the night falls dark
Lord it’s just a white van
And I’m just a man alone in the dark
But I’m scared of a white van
A white van parked
There’s a white van stalled
And there's no one there at all
Even stealing the parts
Off a white van parked
There's a white van parked
In an empty lot
And the night falls dark
And the night falls dark
And the night falls dark
And the night falls dark

Well I’ve got you coming out of my eyeballs
I’ve got you coming out of my ears
I met you with a nosebleed in the men’s stall
Now I’ve got you coming out in my tears
That whisky glass went dancing with your father
That big brass band is just around the bend
The bus driver said he don’t need the bother
But I swear to Christ he looks just like my friend
Well that town’s in my back pocket
And that pocket’s full of dust
And there’s an empty seat besides me girl where lord I wish you was
I wish my mouth would not run when the stakes get high
I left Belmont with rings around my eyes
I left your place my head shaped like a spoon
It was all mighty Christian of you
Well that town’s in my back pocket
And that pocket’s full of dust
And there’s an empty seat besides me girl where lord I wish you was
Well I like it when the snow melts off the mountains
I like it when the snow melts off the trees
I woke up with a start next to the window
Someone left a blanket there for me
