Asheville, NC Lyrics

The motorcycle warehouse was my home

Plastic forties and bags of tobacco

And there I'd sit and smoke and drink alone

With the trash, and glass, and the old piano

With the old dead dog, dry and mummified

At night I'd go there and have one last drink

Past those holes in the second floor I'd hide

Where a theif would fall if he didn't think

No police would dream of looking upstairs

The bums were afraid of going insi9de

A nightmare for some but haven for me

A fortress of liquor,. a dead dog, and no cares.
