Sink My Teeth In Lyrics

I been standin' in a smoky kitchen
Heating oil on a fryin' pan
Burn marks on my hands
In the other room a boy so patient
Doesn't even wanna see me need
But I gotta be free

You make me feel so well-protected
I don't even wanna go outside
So afraid the sun is gonna
Tell me something here ain't right

Baby you're not gonna give me up
You're just gonna give me better stuff
You're just gonna give me something I can
Sink my teeth in
Lean your shoulders back and bear my load
Give me something I can use for the road
Lean your weight into me boy I wanna
Sink my teeth in
Drove the chevy across Pennsylvania
Yeah I'm trekkin' it to Oregon
Got my raincoat on
All you see these days are billboards pulsing
Telling me just what I need to fly
Making myths of my sky
Take me some place where I'm as naked
Nothing but the very core of me
And no matter how the wind blows
That's where you can get it free

(Chorus)

Every night I spend on scratchy sheets
Every morning I might miss the dawn
I'm imagining you whispering there's somewhere I belong
