Squint
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been seeking affirmations
All night long oh and
What I'm feeling in my heart it
Can't be wrong no Sir
I keep squinting for something I might have
Done hair different it's all up for grabs
Lord I've been squinting as though through a keyhole
Just like Clint Eastwood for a few dollars more
I done read all of the cards and I
Saw my fate waiting
Like a chauffeur down at the airport it
Holds my name up but
I keep squinting for something I might have
Just overlooked but there ain't no turning back
I've been squinting as though through a keyhole
Just like Clint Eastwood for a few dollars more
Folks around me they keep stepping
In my shoes oh but
They don't fit right and they don't walk the
Way I do oh and
All the garbage trucks a rolling
Down my street slowly
I can barely strain away to
Hear myself think ah
I keep squinting for something I might have
Done hair different it's all up for grabs
Lord I've been squinting as though through a keyhole
Just like Clint Eastwood for a few dollars more
I keep squinting for something I might have
Done hair different it's all up for grabs
Lord I've been squinting as though through a keyhole
Just like Clint Eastwood for a few dollars more
Mmm
