about

A country noir about running outta time, featuring Smith Curry on Pedal Steel.

From The Book Of Vanities

lyrics

Here comes another sea change tide...
Again I wasn't ready this time
Should've seen it coming
too busy running these games I play

Baby got blessed, baby got gone
To the bottom of the world alone
Can't hold her on the phone
when things go wrong
or leave these things I've got left to do undone

Chorus:
She's got me sweating in the snow, working overtime
Trying not to lose my mind or get left behind
Working overtime, working overtime
Spend my money, blood, and mind
And either end up with nothing or leave nothing behind
Oh lord, Sweating in the snow, sweating in the snow
She got me sweating in the snow, sweating in the snow, sweating in the snow

Opposites attract that's so damned true,
she had a day-planner filled out and real life goals
Me, I was a monkey swinging through the trees
instead of swinging this hammer at the chains on me

Chorus

Bridge: So Look into my yard I'm as frantic as a flea
I'm the steaming pile of flesh you see
as the sun goes down and the snow falls round
won't you be a friend and turn my porch light on?

And I'll keep sweating in the snow...
