I'm Not Sleepin'

When the town fool is a liar and he's preaching to the choir

You've got a lot of explaining that you do

You see, no one likes a quitter. It makes us oh, so bitter

So drop your hat and sit for awhile

Ya see, every now and then again we struggle with our past

We try to stare it in the eye and pray that it won't last

Most questions that get answered they never make much sense

But I decided that I care and I'll get right down to it

And I said: I've stopped sleepin'

I told myself I'd never close my eyes again

I'm not sleepin'

I'm doin' now the best that I can

Well, I like it when you sit and get straight down to it

It suits you more than anyone will admit

Cause there's something in the air and no one seems to care

Nobody will stand up, not even on a dare

It's funny how we fool them with tears behind our smile

So tried and true, we plow right through and hope it's worth the while

Most questions that get answered, they never make much sense

But I decided that I care and I'll get right down to it!
