about

written by Blake Thomas

lyrics

We're a little frayed around the edges
but the fabric's still good
I should've learned to swing a hammer
Cause now I'm just knocking on wood

My father used to tell me he'd rather be lucky than good
and if you see my mother tell her I did the best that I could

And everywhere that I go is just leaving
Knowing I've never known what need is
But you learn quick when you're alone
that the best you can do now
is breaking even
And honey I
I need it

Well I think about John Henry on days like these
at least he had the benefit of seeing his enemies
I push it till I'm weak
but I can't spot the machine
Tell Jerry he can take the Mossman
when exhaustion takes me

And everywhere that I go is just leaving
Knowing I've never known what need is
But you learn quick when you're alone
that the best you can do now
is breaking even
And honey I
I need it

We're a little lost
a little older
and the money's not there
I'm seeing my past and future
in the same rear view mirror
But at least the sun is soft
and the road is clear
It's coffee and a handshake
and I'll see you when I see you

And everywhere that I go is just leaving
Knowing I've never known what need is
But you learn quick when you're alone
that the best you can do now
is breaking even
And honey I
I need it
And honey I. . . I need it
