Got Myself A - Thinkin'
Got Myself A-Thinkin
Well, I got myself a-thinkin
Where did all that time go
Pushed us in one direction
Made the sober man fold
It was a long time coming
Somewhere down the line
In coffee shop conversations
And bar room lies
I might say I know what you're going through
You're rolling away
And I don't know what you're gonna do
You're like a long distance call
Drifting much too far from view
Flowers wither and minds grow old
Trapped in a cage of song
All the men on Fade Away Lake
Keep marching through the dawn
Pull off the mask of integrity
Do their tricks for free
I watched you from across the way
Pretending to be me
I might say I know what you're going through
You're rolling away
And I don't know what you're gonna do
You're like a long distance call
Drifting much too far from view
Your Father was a medicine diver
Your Mother was a Queen
Put you out on an enemy stand
At the rocking edge of eighteen
With nothing to look back on
Not even your own best friend
I like to think you're getting yourself clean
Dreaming on a riverbed
I might say I know what you're going through
You're rolling away
And I don't know what you're gonna do
You're like a long distance call
Drifting much too far from view
