lyrics

Got a long time on this place, I don’t know where I’m going today
Got a long way to go ‘fore I stop movin, ‘fore I even stop breathin’, no, I won’t stop
I don’t know where I’m going, I just know that I’m here
God damn the weight on us all: these bills and these coins
Broken daisies on the street next to chapels where prayers are born, for more of this burden

Got a long way to go ‘fore the gas runs out on me, ‘fore the clock stops ticking,
I got this whole damn place

I’m a tempted inventor of many things
Ain’t got the means for this old scattered homestead
I was down gathering pieces of those daisies before their days
Before the wind can take them far from this place
Take them far

{I don’t know where I’m going}
{I’m just here}
