I'm Not Sleepin'
When the town fool is a liar
And he's preaching to the choir
You've got a lot of explaining that you do
You see, no one likes a quitter
It makes us, oh, so bitter
So, drop your hat and sit for awhile
Ya see, every now and then
Again we struggle with our past
We try to stare it in the eye
And pray that it won't last
Most questions that get answered
They never make much sense
But I decided that I care
And I'll get right down to it
And I said I've stopped sleepin'
I told myself I'd never close my eyes again
I'm not sleepin'
I'm doin' now the best that I can
Well, I like it when you sit
And get straight down to it
It suits you more than anyone will admit
'Cause there's something in the air
And no one seems to care
Nobody will stand up, not even on a dare
It's funny how we fool them
With tears behind our smile
So tried and true, we plow right through
And hope it's worth the while
Most questions that get answered
They never make much sense
But I decided that I care
And I'll get right down to it
