I won't last too long,
I'm probably already gone...
I don't know what to say,
So take your love away from me...
She said, "Give your heart to God..."
What if it's already gone?
I won't know what to say,
So take your love away from me...
To all the birds in this nest, just sit here and rest,
Please rest your wings, and we'll see what tomorrow brings...
I'll fly from tree to tree to tree and gather all we need,
Apparently it's all on me and I have a lot of mouths to feed...
Just wait until I return baby birds,
I will make you eat my words...
Lord knows that I can't stomach them,
So get your fill and stay still 'cause I've got a lot to say...
"If there's a God then he don't show his face 'round here anymore," I heard a man say...
I heard a man say, "You've got some evil in you, you've got some devil in you..."
Oh no, well he don't drink with his friends, but yeah he's drinking alone...
When he's not out on the road he's just a bag of bones...
When I was a boy I told myself that I would buy my dad a boat,
I'd make him proud with my head up in the clouds...
Now there's not enough water in this glass for that dream to float,
The glass fell down, I watch it pour out on the ground...
You're waking up the demons,
I am not alive, I am just a satellite...
They dance in circles around you,
Surround around the ghosts that found me,
They've got something to say...
"You were never meant to make it,
Yeah, you don't have what it takes...
It's time to live life like a man,
It's time to learn from your mistakes...
If you don't find yourself a woman,
If you don't find yourself a job,
You're going to live alone forever,
It's time to give your life to God..."
Well, I don't want to start a family,
No, I don't want to fall in love...
I just want to sing these songs,
And I want you to sing along,
So if I never find a woman,
If I never find a job...
I'll still have this old guitar,
And I'll still have these stupid songs,
So sing along...
