Ticking
(So like that?)
I'm cuttin' ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I'm willing but I cannot keep you girl
Philly by the morning and Ohio by the night
The thing about a long rope is you can't hold on too tight
On wooden floors and coffee cups
Stepped on and all used up
But I reckon that's what mornings are for
And everyone thinks they know me now, in these
Closed-minded leave-me towns
But I'm too young to even know myself
There's wheels running down the interstate
Oh, Lord I'll wait
Another day
'Cause I ain't close to you
There's time, ticking, on the interstate
And Lord I hate
That I ain't close to you
And all my friends have moved away
Some got jobs and some got saved
They talk to me like I'm still that kid
The fighting, fiendin' Okie sun
The restless, reckless hopeful one
Who once was proud of everything he did
Do you remember 25?
Long legs and loving time
Seems like ten lifetimes ago
I'm cuttin' ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I'm willing, but I
Really have to go
There's wheels running down the interstate
Oh, Lord I'll wait
Another day
'Cause I ain't close to you
There's time, ticking, on the interstate
I'm fightin' fate
And Lord I hate
That I ain't close to you
I'm cuttin' ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I'm willing, but I cannot keep you girl
Philly by the morning and Ohio by the night
The thing about high hopes is you can't hold on too tight
I'm cuttin' ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I'm willing but I cannot keep you girl
Philly by the morning and Ohio by the night
The thing about a long rope is you can't hold on too tight
On wooden floors and coffee cups
Stepped on and all used up
But I reckon that's what mornings are for
And everyone thinks they know me now, in these
Closed-minded leave-me towns
But I'm too young to even know myself
There's wheels running down the interstate
Oh, Lord I'll wait
Another day
'Cause I ain't close to you
There's time, ticking, on the interstate
And Lord I hate
That I ain't close to you
And all my friends have moved away
Some got jobs and some got saved
They talk to me like I'm still that kid
The fighting, fiendin' Okie sun
The restless, reckless hopeful one
Who once was proud of everything he did
Do you remember 25?
Long legs and loving time
Seems like ten lifetimes ago
I'm cuttin' ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I'm willing, but I
Really have to go
There's wheels running down the interstate
Oh, Lord I'll wait
Another day
'Cause I ain't close to you
There's time, ticking, on the interstate
I'm fightin' fate
And Lord I hate
That I ain't close to you
I'm cuttin' ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I'm willing, but I cannot keep you girl
Philly by the morning and Ohio by the night
The thing about high hopes is you can't hold on too tight
