Look a gift horse in the mouth go get a job Last best deal I ever got was a quarter for a beer on the quad Nevilles singing on a makeshift stage you sittin' on a towel in the shade Came from a foreign town and you smoked a joint with Jackson Browne What if my pain won’t deliver me What if my stasis crushes me with boredom If I read into everything you say to me I will never get the meaning of your words like when you wrote them When we were writers when we were fighters Before we found purpose and made deals with God Let’s pull an all nighter push wood in the fire It might just look like smoke in my eyes but I’m still burning inside Some sailed the calmer seas serial monogamy Best trip I ever took was on the ship that I wrecked and how I got set free Strange boy in the Vegas summer Dancing to the beat of a different drummer Maybe a heat mirage or a message in camouflage What if I thought that the best of me Spending my time doing just fine To short change my true full capacity And recognize it just as I was running out of time When we were writers we were igniters Letras de cancionesBlisters to callus to scars from the war The sentence gets tighter the impact grows wider When nothing is wasted nor chances denied I’ve had my day in the sun that’s no lie But I’m still burning inside The slings and arrows the passage narrows The story harrowing the word becomes flesh Wrestle the beast that leaves you diminished It’s alright you will never be finished When you’re a writer when you’re a fighter Easy to be cruel better to be kind Plow through the stalks of your heart’s tinder box Flint to the rock and you’ll find you’re still burning inside From Letras Mania
