Lying down in the limelight, asleep on the job Giving in to the stagefright doesn’t feel right It’s not enough just thinking about it Zip up the leather and get out and start it You’ll remember all the stuff that you do Regret what you don’t Hold it tight - get it right The impossible’s tonight Catching roses won’t be long Like a loco on the run, you better get things done The clock ain’t waiting on you, son So, what about all the daydreams Of highways and lights There’s a mic in your hand, boy It doesn’t feel right It’s not enough just thinking about it Pull out the paper, put words on it You’ll remember all the stuff that you do Regret what you don’t You need a route to the roof You won’t find a map in a ninety-five proof Women wearing boots won’t tell you the truth Just do what you gotta do

I choose not to hear them now Noise in the background bleeding out Seven summers and we’re still sitting here I ain’t going nowhere, stay with me dear We’re getting close but there’s a ways to go Still can’t find a down payment on a home What they teach you in driving school? Model citizenship and the rules For living day to day according to popular sway Nine to nine, work all the time If you’ll be waiting on me, I’ll be fine Expectations come with the age Certain stigmas working minimum wage When the pressures of the culture get strong Our love will never keep a record of wrong

Don’t even act like you know what I know Tell me, have you a clue, I bet you don’t A classic thank you would have done But you’re the kind of one where a dress will do fine Messing with my mind I want to get it right but I missed it this time Growing tired, hungry and sore Climbing twenty miles to the Devil’s backdoor Making bargains, striking deals Cashing in your passion for junk that ain’t real What’s it gonna be Flying without feathers or dying getting free There’s gotta be a little lesson Hidden in the heartbreak, trying to explain ‘Cause all the stuff under the sun Has a purpose and a plan But you gotta help me understand How mine relates to you Digging in deeper doesn’t seem to get it through
4.
Stuck yourself into a loveless love Tried to tell you but you acted to tough Standing on the edge of the dock watching your ship go down Crying in the backyard with no one around You want that hourglass to dance and to touch Black satin glove just to strut that clutch You couldn’t pick up a penny lying on the ground Crying in the backyard with no one around Too young, too tough A rebel with no cause in a dump of a love So what - peel off It ain’t like nobody never tried to warn ya Didn’t know you trained your parrot so well Squawking all the stuff that you promised not to tell Getting stale out on the Main Street Just a-burning down the town Crying in the backyard with no one around
