I been living in the limit so long
If I had a rod I couldn't bait it and
I probably couldn't even crank a chainsaw
You know, I saw some old buzzard and
I thought it was a red-tail hawk
I been living in the limit too long
I set my headin's on hacking up the heavens in the Air Force
But my dream got shattered
When I shattered my shoulder on the ball court
I put up a picket fence and ever since I did something's felt wrong
I been living in the limit too long
I been living in the limit too long
I been living in the limit so long
Saw an old buzzard and I thought it was a red-tailed hawk
I been living in the limit too long
Oh all that I been given living in the little limit this long
Is just a 6-pack a day, pay the state to haul my garbage off
Little street-lamps clicking, every single little starlight gone
Feel like i'm sinning living in the limit this long
I been up on the down train, down on the upside too
Short on my long-gaze, deep into my data-use
So long since i heard the clopping on the road of an old horseshoe
My time to leave my living in the limit's long overdue
I been living in the limit so long
I been living in the limit too long
Saw an old buzzard and I thought it was a red-tailed hawk
I been living in the limit too long
If everybody takes an acre when they're taking up a few square feet
Man, they'll cram you all together
Till the roads are called a city street
Readin' the Bha-ga-vad Gita, eatin Abita by the 12 oz. can
I been living in the limit longer than i oughtta been
Might just up and move where
Uber in a million years would never go
Where the oak tree sheds
And Black & Decker machines don't blow em
In the shade by the river, every little glint mine alone
I been living in the limit too long
I been living in the limit too long
I been living in the limit so long
Saw an old buzzard and I thought it was a red-tailed hawk
I been living in the limit too long
