The Mule

I don't wanna, not gonna do it
I'm watching my p's are you watching your q's
So we go our different ways and end up in the same place
We're dying a little bit each day
Divining for a little bit better down the road
A little bit better down the road

When we're younger being stubborn gets the best of us
Like the sunburn you get lying under the summer sun
When you think you've done enough, there's so much more you haven't tried
You haven't tried

Stubborn as I am, born under the bull
A mule I can be and a jackass to boot
But I got angels that stand in front of me
Sometimes kickin' from behind me
The timeless things we try to tell ourselves
To remind ourselves we're kicking round the same dirt, kickin round the same earth

When we're older being stubborn gets the best of us
You know the slicker that you're wearing will still leave you half wet
You'll think you've done enough
But, there's so much less you'd rather try, you'd rather try
Cause when we're older being stubborn starts to mess with us
And when we're older being stubborn is just a mess for us, a mess for us

And fittin' into bigger skin still means some things, gotta stay behind

When we're younger being stubborn gets the best of us
Then we're older being stubborn just a mess for us
So this sunburned and half wet, ain't just 6 of one, half dozen of the other
Older or younger can't always tell
