Days Go By

The days go by

Even when you don't want them to

The sun outside

Lets you know there's living to do

And I get scared sometimes

That I'll work my whole life and die

Before I find the purpose

To my being alive

But I've got a bible, baby

With the shape of a whiskey bottle cut out

A whole lot of living left in me

One foot in heaven and a dirty mouth

I know time changes a lot of things

But I'm afraid I can't be fixed

But I would give up everything

Not to feel like this

From 231

All the way down 96

The telephone poles

Lift out of the earth like a crucifix

And when the sun goes down

The only thing you can hear

Is that restless feeling

Drift across the northern hemphisphere

But I've got a bible, baby

And a picture of Jesus on my wall

Neither one can save me

Once my faith in everything's gone

I want to lay under the blue

Blue sky and feel

Like I'm whole again

As it was in the beginning

You can damn sure bet

It will be in the end

There's no sense in running

From the things that cut you down

Someday you'll look over your shoulder

To find they're still around
