[Lyric] Des Moines (Jeffrey Foucault)

[VERSE 1]
That night in Des Moines
Goner'd streets and dying
Sunset building
Cut with shade

[VERSE 2]
We sent our smoke
Up through the street lights
We sent our prayers out
Through an old PA

[Chorus]
That night in Des Moines
That night in Des Moines

[VERSE 3]
That night in Des Moines
Too late for supper
We sat the bar
And we drank 3 beers
[VERSE 4]
And we watched the house
Filling up with no one
But God was listening
And he cupped his ear

[Chorus]
That night in Des Moines
That night in Des Moines

[VERSE 5]
That night in Des Moines
Picked you up at the airport
Threw your rig in the back seat
And I shook your hand

[VERSE 6]
And the heat from the asphalt
It was liquid and dancing
And we walked through the front doors
Like a rock 'n' roll band

[Chorus]
That night in Des Moines
That night in Des Moines
[VERSE 7]
That night in Des Moines
We slept at your mom's house
Drove east in the darkness
Toward a whole new day

[VERSE 8]
And the lights on the big trucks
Were like gun camera tracers
On I-80 at midnight
There was nothing to say
