Rest My Troubles Away

I've been out walking as I often to
Humming a tune and thinking of you
I saw a man asleep by the road
Hanging on tightly to his little load
He's got nothing but the road under his head
I'm so fucking glad that I sleep in a bed
I'm so ashamed that I get up every day
And think of all the reasons I can piss it away
If I don't think about it, it's okay
If I don't think about it, it don't go away
I was gonna keep walking but I went back to his place
Looked down to see signs of life on his face
He looks alright in the land of the nod
Has anyone ever said: "sleep brings you closer to God?"
That's the kind of stupid shit people say
When they can't justify what they do with their day
That's the kind of stupid shit people say
When they can't justify what they do with their day
I'm tired I guess
Been overthinking my day
I'll creep into my bed
Rest my troubles away
