kind bone
I’ve got a hangover from too much of a good thing
I might get a song from it yet, but it hurts my head to sing
Too much of a good thing aint good at all, ‘cause when you leave tomorrow I’ll withdraw
Let me have a hair of the dog if you got a kind bone
In your body and then take your body home
I’ve heard all your secrets so I know you can’t keep your word
She don’t know about me, but I know all about her
You talk to me just like I was a man, but man I don’t wanna be your friend
Let me have the last word if you got a kind bone
In your body and then take your stories home
The tears that I’ve been crying have changed the shape I was
Eroding slowly and then all at once
Rivers cut oxbows into lakes, meander ‘til they find the shortest way
Let me see you turn on your heel if you got a kind bone
In your body, then we’ll both go home alone
I’ve got a hangover from too much of a good thing
I work saturdays
I work Saturdays
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Ain’t that what you’re supposed to say
So God thinks that you’re grateful
I missed her soccer game
But she told me that it’s okay
She didn’t do good anyway
I said, ‘You did not do well.’
Red Sox cap is haddock reuben, lemon meringue
Blue Seal cap is decaf and just looking in the pie case
I wouldn’t call them friends
For $11.00 before tips
Still don’t know why I was crying
When Blue Seal had his bypass
Winter follows Fall
Weeknight evening games for basketball
You know I’m gonna catch ‘em all
Even though she won’t catch one thing
Tourists take their money down the interstate
We get snow plows digging potholes but we also get a break
We don’t require much
I know I can cover us
I’ve learned the definition of enough
Is good but never plenty
I work Saturdays
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Ain’t that what you’re supposed to say
So God thinks that you’re grateful
Nashville time
You got folks that miss you, a dog waiting at the door,
A bed of coals in the firebox. Why would you ask for more?
Your compass points ever homebound. Mine tracks the flying geese.
And I’m a fool who’s being shown how you’ll only play at choosing me
But now we’re on Nashville time
Landlocked navigators tryina read the sky
Now we’re on Nashville time
That gives us an extra hour but it don’t make you mine
I can’t seem to drop my anchor. You can’t seem to fill your sail.
I think I’m too small to pull the needle. You think you’re too big to fail.
But now we’re on Nashville time
Novice soothsayers waiting for a sign
Now we’re on Nashville time
That gives us an extra hour but it don’t make you mine
You tell me that you cry all the way to Bowling Green
But that never makes you change a goddamn thing
I know that ride north is awful lonesome, but you don’t gotta’ think about that now.
We’ve got a window, let’s throw it open. Let the little birds fly in and out.
But now we’re on Nashville time
Pilgrim poets praying for a rhyme
Now we’re on Nashville time
That gives us an extra hour but it don’t make you mine
Runs good, goes good, won’t take a sticker
Got some pinholes rusted through the frame
I hate to see her sitting in the door yard
Just rotting in the hemlock shade
This old wood stove could use some new firebrick
And a rope gasket around the door
I’ll help you load it if you come by in the evening
It’ll keep your hunting camp warm
Free for the taking
Out there on the curb
If you’re brave and if you’re handy
All you gotta do is get here first
Remington rifle I got the papers
Johnson outboard needs a prop
Some wedding bands I couldn’t make work
Don’t worry we’re both better off
Free for the taking
Out there on the curb
If you’re brave and if you’re handy
All you gotta do is get here first
I may not be no vintage Playboys
I may not be a box of Mason jars
I’d like to think I’m somewhere ‘em
With a perfectly good fixer upper heart
Free for the taking
Out there on the curb
If you’re brave and if you’re handy
All you gotta do is get here first
Free For The Taking
Money’s burning a hole in your Dickey blue jeans
Snow’s drifting against our window screens
Let’s load up the dogs in the Subaru
Head over the mountain to Liberty Tool
Get you a hammer, plane, and draw knife
But we can’t turn me into a homesteading wife
You’re tracing tradition, I’d like to carve something new
Just trying to find my liberty tool
We bottled up summer into quart jars
Amish Paste tomatoes and pears from the yard
Our root cellar and freezer say we’ve been blessed a lot
But I’m hungry for something we haven’t got
Get you a hammer, plane, and draw knife
But we can’t turn me into a homesteading wife
You’re tracing tradition, I’d like to carve something new
Just trying to find my liberty tool
Have you got crow bars?
Have you got a wrecking ball?
Sticks of dynamite?
I’ll take ‘em all. I’ll take ‘em all.
Now there’s fiddleheads popping alongside the streams
So I know that my doubt isn’t just a cabin fever dream
‘Cause your sights are set on four walls and a hearth
That sounds just like a cage to my restless heart
Get you a hammer, plane, and draw knife
But we can’t turn me into a homesteading wife
You’re tracing tradition, I’d like to carve something new
Just trying to find my liberty tool
