Shane Knows His Mind
His friends don't say a lot, but Shane knows they agree
He just wants his house in order before the walls are taken away
Another job he's lost to faces from the sea
He laughs at pronouncing the lager
In the voice of the barman, who shares its name
He smiles and closes his eyes
And knows he's right
Shane knows his mind
There's no reason why the man who's turning fifty
Should betray the guts that he had at twenty-five
He's watched it all
Their calls to let it go
Hurt him more than they'll ever know
Trying to save what he knows he likes he knows
His family's arguing, this day goes on and on
Nothing new when his son won't come around too much these days
We've all been young, but the boy's doing it wrong
It's not his fault if his daughter-in-law's
Too sick to pull her weight
His wife smoothes her dress
And maybe cries
Shane knows his mind
There's no reason why the man who's turning fifty
Should betray the guts that he had at twenty-five
He's watched it all
Their calls to let it go
Hurt him more than they'll ever know
Trying to save what he knows he likes he knows
A chest so full of pain
Turns out to be nothing poetic like hate
A doctor born so far from her home
Says maybe two years, it could have been eight
Irony's lost as everything is broken
His heart at the news, and the English spoken
She takes his hand and says everything'll change
And Shane thinks, never Shane
Shane knows his mind
There's no reason why the man who's turning fifty
Should betray the guts that he had at twenty-five
He's watched it all
Their calls to let it go
Hurt him more than they'll ever know
Trying to save what he knows he likes he knows
Shane knows his mind
There's no reason why the man who's turning fifty
Should betray the guts that he had at twenty-five
He's watched it all
Their calls to let it go
Hurt him more than they'll ever know
Trying to save what he knows he likes he knows
He just wants his house in order before the walls are taken away
Another job he's lost to faces from the sea
He laughs at pronouncing the lager
In the voice of the barman, who shares its name
He smiles and closes his eyes
And knows he's right
Shane knows his mind
There's no reason why the man who's turning fifty
Should betray the guts that he had at twenty-five
He's watched it all
Their calls to let it go
Hurt him more than they'll ever know
Trying to save what he knows he likes he knows
His family's arguing, this day goes on and on
Nothing new when his son won't come around too much these days
We've all been young, but the boy's doing it wrong
It's not his fault if his daughter-in-law's
Too sick to pull her weight

Shane knows his mind
There's no reason why the man who's turning fifty
Should betray the guts that he had at twenty-five
He's watched it all
Their calls to let it go
Hurt him more than they'll ever know
Trying to save what he knows he likes he knows
A chest so full of pain
Turns out to be nothing poetic like hate

Shane knows his mind
There's no reason why the man who's turning fifty

Their calls to let it go
Hurt him more than they'll ever know
Trying to save what he knows he likes he knows
Shane knows his mind
There's no reason why the man who's turning fifty
Should betray the guts that he had at twenty-five
He's watched it all
Their calls to let it go
Hurt him more than they'll ever know
Trying to save what he knows he likes he knows
