Lyrics
The paycheck from the Valero barely covered the rent.
You're countin' quarters on the dashboard of the Ford, every last cent.
The heater's blowin' cold air, smells like dust and regret.
You said, "Maybe we should call my brother back in Tucson, get what we can get."
[Chorus]
(Sung by a different, layered vocalist)
Don't you call us broken down,
We're the Copper Wire Kings.
Runnin' rough on this whole town
On grease and gasoline.
[Verse 2]
Saw you through the glass door at that spa by the red rocks,
Scrubbin' floors for the kind of folks who never punch clocks.

Don't you call us broken down,
We're the Copper Wire Kings.
Runnin' rough on this whole town
On grease and gasoline.
[Bridge]
(Sung by a different, layered vocalist)
That neon sign for 'EATS' is hummin' out our last name,
A promise flicker-flickerin' out in the high desert rain.
[Outro]
Yeah, the Copper Wire Kings.
Just the Copper Wire Kings.
