lyrics

you may be unhappy but you aint hopeless
you may be driven, just a little unfocused
maybe today is the day you say
youre gonna turn it all around

maybe youll answer a couple of phone calls
get off the couch and replace some light bulbs
tell everyone that you talk to
youre seein things in a different light
someday you might

when your mama says youre hard headed
what do you do but give her part credit
youre as stubborn as a mexican mule in the midday sun
like youve been overworked and under appreciated
and aint never gonna learn a thing from anyone
what have we done

you make a list of things to do
though you know youve already done em
is it crossing through the words
somehow makes you feel productive
you could read more books, make a name for yourself
collect the data and crunch the numbers
find more time for the folks that you love, try and be better
and try to be nicer just because

practice patience slangin dranks in dallas/austin
and hunger on the road
find humility taking other peoples problems in as your own
get off a gas station graveyard shift 100 miles north of amarillo
and youll see the sun keeps comin up
and it dont matter what you think that you know

you abuse yourself physically
tryin to free yourself up a bit mentally
but then you see that in the mornin time
that youve got more fuckin questions then youve got answers
so you collect your thoughts and then you put it all on paper
just to toss it aside and then find it a few years later
and by the time you pull out them old notes that you wrote
you see that the handwritin hadnt really had to change much
what do you think youre tryin to say with such
