Catherine Antrims Kid by The Mountain Goats Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Brush all the dust of Kansas
Off of my special shoes
When the coach lets us out at the corner store
Mom was coughing like an old man, shivering like a cold man
And I found some trouble to get into
And the admiration was mutual
Split my winnings with mom 55/45
But it didn't keep her alive

[Chorus]
I got lost out there in New Mexico
Nothing to lose nowhere to go
I got lost when my lucky stars crossed

[Verse 2]
That night I dreamt about Ft. Stanton
Though I didn't know to call it that yet
And the night wrapped me up in its long dark embrace
I had that same expression on as that one picture of my face
Which was all anyone would ever know about me
After my visitors got done with me
I lay down singing on the porch blood streaming from my mouth
Sounded kind of like Paul Westerberg but to tell you the truth
[Chorus]
I got lost out there in New Mexico
Nothing to lose nowhere to go
I got lost when my lucky stars crossed
