Spending my time Drinking Bali Hai wine Waitin' on the snowflakes to winter Stitching up the seams Of a hand me down jacket Drowning out the fire I couldn't kindle I'm running straight into the wind With a bag of dirt A bucket of stones Call me what you will baby I'm leavin' I wait for the fields To show what they yield You gambled on corn and sugarcane The world let you down So you're headed southbound For a new start A new wish A new season A new start A new wish A new season Spinning my wheels And burning down bridges The only day job I could keep I was built like a spark Burn bright till it stops Then kneel down and ask for forgiveness I'm running straight into the wind With a bag of dirt and a bucket of stones Call me what you will baby I'm leaving You wait for the fields To show what they yield You gambled on corn and sugarcane The world let you down So you're headed southbound For a new start A new wish A new season A new start A new wish A new season You're slamming down bottles Your mind starts to wander The money just ain't coming in You thought about sellin' To Uncle Sam or the devil But never look in the mirror again It's time to wait it out And wait for the bank Or leave it to faith Call me what you will baby I'm leavin' You wait for the fields To show what they yield You gambled on corn and sugarcane Now the world let you down So you're headed southbound For a new start A new wish A new season A new start A new wish A new season A new start A new wish A new season
