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
