*It was 1979 Thunderbird your sisters ride
We piled in the very back down by the river on an old 8 track
On the way we had our trials and it turned out things would be fine
Rabbits foot must have worked it’s stuff it just took it’s sweet time
*On our way back to the car
I noticed everything (had changed x4)
*You used to take it way too fast after school breaking glass
Water snakes asleep in trees that summer we lost what it meant to be free
Could it be we were who we are always take things a little too far
Too many things have come between Icehouse 40’s and busted tv's
On our way back to the car I noticed everything (had changed x4)
You get knocked down you get back up x4

Get that feeling you’ve been here before a little bird tells you behind what door
Kill them all and let god sort em out cause a sunset is someone’s sunrise ( hold A for an extra breath)
I look down at my hands and watch the hair and nails grow long and awesome
and I Think to myself “ What else?”
Just because I changed my mind doesn’t mean I lied
Like the season tend to change we do what we can to survive (we do what we can to survive)
Spent the night in a hammock on your porch
I must have caused a panic when I wasn’t there come morning
Early now I go howl at the moon
come home to an empty bed and whisper of room
John it wasn’t your hammer that made you a man
It was your strength of will to see it all to the end
Black eyed buzzard men with their watch of gold
Cheering from the sideline fingers crossed anything goes
( of coarse anything goes )
Get That Feeling you’ve been here before
A little bird tells you behind what door
Kill them all and let god sort it out cause
A sunet is someone’s sunrise
C#m
A sunset is someone’s sunrise

How many times must I say Get down from there right away
You could fall and hurt yourself What kind of man asks for help?
Don’t you talk back to me I’ve had enough its plain to see
Someone better go and call the cops Before this dude gets shot
Charlie down on the corner
You better watch what you do
He won’t run things much longer
If we change all the rules
Many Friends Make light work Raised my voice and felt like a jerk
Guess I’ll do this all by myself What kind of man asks for help?
Knock it off with all the rhyme You won’t catch me doing time
You can set your watch to that I aint got time for that

I cant seem to get this van turned over
I should have sold her brand new
I’ll get sober tomorrow
it just can’t be for you
*I keep remembering details of the moment I knew
There was a great big blue sky and water washing over you
Last summer we took the kids up river and held our hands out for help
Slipping depending on each other and learning more about ourselves
They say life is what happens when you’re busy making plans
If you wanna put it off for tomorrow well that’s something I can understand
Taking my time getting home to my rowdy family
Just 10 more minutes alone to recharge the battery

If I could list the reasons / I’ve been going nowhere
Out of gas and out of road / and things that don’t seem fair
I’ve tried giving up / I’ve tried going all in
I keep searching for a balance / for some reason
I’ve been going insane / every night
I put all my kids to bed / and slip into my mind
Heaven is no place/ to take a vacation
It’s a good damn thing/ I’m not a man of action
Pennies are falling / all around
Heads up I’m out of luck / leave it on the ground
There are some things / you can’t explain to men
The entire night sky / is a planetarium
I spent a whole hour / cleaning shit out a dog cage
Not sure what you think/ about 9 more days till Friday
I was getting somewhere / but I lost my traction
It’s a good damn thing / I’m not a man of action
Cart me off to bed / with straps on my hands
I don’t wanna call this home / I changed my mind again
Put your thumb on my jaw / open up my mouth
Get down in the cellar now / there’s 5 in the slaughterhouse
