In The Meantime

I'm savin' all my nickels

And half of every dime

I'm washin' all the blankets

God knows that I'm tryin'

I fixed the gate

We will find each other so they say

In the meantime

I'm lonesome while I wait

I'm lyin' to my family

Of who I'm thinkin' about

I had another woman

Somehow she found out

She always knew

We'll be honest with each other, me and you

In the meantime

I'll break a heart or two

Now I'm sellin' saws and hammers

For half of what they're worth

I'm dreamin' for a living

I got no time for work

It's gettin' hard

One day we will never be apart

In the meantime

I'm wonderin' where you are

Now I'm burnin' sheets of plywood

I pried up off the floor

The house is out of lumber

At least for now I'm warm

For now I'm warm

We'll be warm beneath the carolina moon

In the meantime

I should find another room

I'm drinkin' from the faucet

I'm lucky when I sleep

I'm sleepin' in the closet

I'm scared of the police

What should I do?

One day you will be my reason too

In the meantime

I'll just be passing through
