When I'm lost and I'm wandering round And she's sure that I'm headed for fire I'm on my own damn time But she shows me how to use it And when the night time is burning me up And I'm smoking with my French Quarter girl I've got my own damn mind But she shows me how to lose it We're alright In fact we're just out of sight When things get rough We hold it together Well I had a real good conversation Between my woman and the blistering sun She said "let it go" You can't hold it forever And when I'm deep in the canyon of doubt There ain't nothing I can do to get out She throws her rope down low And before I know it, I'm crusin' And when I'm lonely as the man on the moon And I could sure use a pick-me-up soon She gives me love drugs, girl I just gotta try not to abuse 'em We're alright In fact we're just out of sight When it gets tough We hold it together And I had a real nice conversation Between my girl and my blistering sun She said "Let it go You can't hold it forever" She said "You catch light You can't hold it forever" You catch light Tell me where it goes You don't know Said, you catch light
