Need a little time off ahead
Climbing out of these trenches
Hot bath and a home cooked meal
Little sunlight would do me right
I've been striking out
Been striking these matches
Till my hands catch fire
And the sofa burns my eyes
Well I've been on the road
A long, long time
Long enough to miss the cut
Long enough to dull the rush
Enough to make a
Moriarty blush
Enough to make friends and lose touch
Well, enough is enough
Or maybe I'll finally cold
Yeah, well, enough is enough
Or maybe I'll finally cold my blood
Got to get back,
got to need a little back beating
I've been strumming,
soul guitar till my fingers bleed
And my skin and nails, stripped away
Yeah, they skipped town,
made their getaway
They hitched a ride, my wounded pride
They were all looking for
a similar way to unwind
Oh, a little distance from my
worn -down side
Yeah, a little respite from
my worn -down mind
I can't blame them, they were right
I won't blame them, they were right
No, I can't blame them,
they were right to be dumb
Done with so much wrong
Need a little time off her head
Around the bend,
then straddling the double lines
Blurring mile after blurring mile
I got a little angel just standing
in the doorway
Been away so long I can't
tell if my boy thinks I am
Just a friend or a friend amongst
Maybe I just stop by to mow the lawn
Well, I gotta fix this quick
He'll be gone for too long
And he'll be asking things
Thinking about right and wrong
Well, I gotta sober up
I gotta hold me on
Yeah, I better study up
We gotta be strong enough
Strong enough
Strong enough to be home
