The road ain't gettin' shorter
And I think the weed is gettin' stronger
And I'm tryin' not to speak
To no one who don't care
I'm spinnin' around in a whirlpool of letters
That run in a circle and try to break free in my mind
And I know I'm still young
But I can only get older
And I know that sometimes
I hurt you and I'm gone
Well it's a story as old as the fire that brought us together
You think that we'd learn but you still remain
In the back of my mind
Eatin' up all my time
Hangin' weightless in the sky
Like an angel with no place to fly
Everyday I get stoned
I simply try to write a song
The road is like a river
That sings when I'm alone
I'm sittin' beside a window of light
That floods in my eyes and keeps me from finding mine
If I stayed home
I'd only wish I was gone
Wantin' you with me
But knowin' that you can't come
You've seen all the charms of this crazy old life
And you'd just as soon leave 'em behind as
you'd never leave me
In the back of my mind
Eatin' up all my time
Hangin' weightless in the sky
Like an angel with no place to fly
Lookin' for some peace of mind
Like an angel with no place to fly
