Stockyard Stoics

Long time gone, hither and yon
Our last paycheck is spent (So what?)
Rice and beans, limited means
How we gonna pay the rent? (Oh shit!)
Get a job or two or three or four and never sleep
Sleeps overrated anyway and this hole weve dug is deep
But therell be a new day
A time when everythings turning out okay
Loose strings tied up and debts paid
Well have nothing to do
Well walk through the streets of this town like we own them
Let the road lead where it may we will show them
Suns gonna shine gonna hold our heads up high
Well get by
We put 167,000 miles on that car
Along the way it didnt seem wed traveled all that far
We took every scenic byway and stopped at every town of note
Now our engine has a rattle and the credit card is broke
And thats alright
Turnpike north, back and forth
Friday morning gone
Up and down and all around
These weeks are dragging on
Head gone rot and the weekend shot
Its creeping up on seven
But works all done and if I run
Im gonna catch the 8pm
Its a new day
Seems like everythings turning out okay
West wind blowing going my way
Bringing me home to you
I love her yeah shes the one
I love her and were gonna have some fun
I love her yeah shes the one for me
Shes the one for me
Shes the one for me
