Kelly Mountain road saw a heavy load
|
With a sagging heart and a break apart
|
Voices in me stood as thick as thieves
|
With no sympathy for the beggars art
|
I have passed these pines 'bout a million times effortlessly
|
Now I grip the wheel fear is what I feel
|
At the slow unraveling of me
|
|
You tell me it's temporary it's a matter of time
|
By God don't you think I know it's in my mind
|
It's right over left and healing the then
|
I'll soon be to nothing but I don't know when
|
|
Well the way I flee on my crooked feet
|
Barn happy horse on a one-track course
|
Then I self despise cryin' out my eyes
|
'Cause the happy trail led me to remorse
|
But the road is long and the song is gone
|
I blow empty in my cicada shell
|
If I saw my choice I might find my voice
|
But I don't know when and I just can't tell
|
|
You tell me it's temporary just a matter of time
|
By God don't you think I know it's in my mind
|
It's right over left and healing the then
|
I'll soon be to nothing but I don't know when
|
|
Deep behind my face is a safer place
|
But old gears are hitched tight to the gate
|
It's a daily grind waiting to unwind
|
Till I hear that click that unlocks my fate
|
|
So tell me it's temporary it's a matter of time
|
By God don't you think I know it's in my mind
|
It's right over left and healing the then
|
I'll soon be to nothing but I don't know when
|
I'll soon be to nothing but I don't know when
|
I'll soon be to nothing but I don't know when
|
