kelly mountain road
saw a heavy load
with a sagging heart
and a break apart
voices in me
stood as thick as thieves
with no sympathy
for the beggars art
i have passed these pines
`bout a million times
effortlessly
(effortlessly)
now i grip the wheel
fear is what i feel
at the slow unraveling of
(slow unraveling of)
me
(me)
(ah)
(ah)
but you tell me it`s temporary
(tell me it`s temporary)
it`s a matter of time
(it`s a matter of time)
by god
don`t you think i know it`s in my mind
(in my mind)
and it`s right over left
(right over left)
and healing the then
(healing the then)
i`ll soon be to nothing
but i don`t know when
well the way i flee
(daylight)
on my crooked feet
barn happy horse
(fading)
on a one-track course
then i self despise
(daylight)
cryin` out my eyes
`cause the happy trail
(fading)
led me to remorse,
but the road is long
(but the road is long)
and the song is gone
i blow empty
in my cicada shell
if i saw my choice
(if i saw my choice)
i might find my voice
but i don`t know when
(don`t know when)
and i just can`t tell
(just can`t tell)
(ah)
(ah)
you tell me it`s temporary
(tell me it`s temporary)
it`s a matter of time
(it`s a matter of time)
by god
don`t you think i know it`s in my mind
(in my mind)
it`s right over left
(right over left)
and healing the then
(and healing the then)
i`ll soon be to nothing
but i don`t know when
deep behind my face
is a safer place
but old gears are hitched tight
to the gate
it`s a daily grind
waiting to unwind
till i hear that click
that unlocks my fate
(ah)
(ah)
yeah
but you tell me it`s temporary
(but tell me it`s temporary)
and it`s a matter of time
(and it`s a matter of time)
by god
don`t you think i know it`s in my mind
it`s right over left
(it`s right over left)
and healing the then
(and healing the then)
i`ll soon be to nothing
(i`ll soon be to nothing)
but i don`t know when
i`ll soon be to nothing
(i`ll soon be to nothing)
but i don`t know when
i`ll soon be to nothing
but i don`t know when
(but i don`t know when)
