lyrics

Hard six years, ahead seventy more
Clean out the gutter, try to loosen my load
Bored to death, board up the family store

Momma says ‘come stay’ like I'm seventeen
Honey moved out of state and away from me
Things won't go my way, luckily
The sting of a loss is easy when the seats are cheap

All I know goes to show
You can’t hold the hands of time

Wheels touch down with the sun, Santa Fe
The future grows narrow with each passing day
Can't keep my cool, so I sell it for change
Shovel on all that I can handle,
I hear they have it in spades

All I know goes to show
You can’t hold the hands of time
But that don’t mean you can’t try
