It was cold room filled with smoke,
|
And I was feeling slow from the night before,
|
But I stood straight and steady mind at ease,
|
I was ready for the next move,
|
|
Oh how your keys they open doors,
|
To rooms and names youĄŻve know before,
|
Not getting better hold your breath,
|
IĄŻll write you letters from the road,
|
|
I tried I tried to plant my feet,
|
Its hard to sing through gritted teeth,
|
In the same key ive been thinking,
|
YouĄŻll just maybe cut me loose,
|
|
I tried I tried to stay the course,
|
Racked my brain and got so bored,
|
I had a mortgage and a job,
|
I wiped the windows and mowed the lawn,
|
|
OHĄŻs
|
|
Well I was told by those who knew me most,
|
That I was looking slow from the night before,
|
From the places you can find me,
|
The places left behind me at home,
|
|
Oh I canĄŻt hold these feet no more,
|
My minds been three steps out the door,
|
With post card pictures,
|
That I wonĄŻt write when I get where I go,
|
|
IĄŻm off to the races oh the places IĄŻve gone,
|
IĄŻll smile before my race ends for the places IĄŻll go
|
|
IĄŻm off to the races oh the places IĄŻve gone,
|
IĄŻll smile before my race ends for the places IĄŻll go

But I stood straight and steady mind at ease,
|
I was ready for the next move,
