Tryna remember the very last time I felt a simple thing going past Was it the day in Old Georgia You were tryna take a bath? She sees the daylilies post inside And the tears spring to her eyes You turn the car around and you're Headed back down that track She's had a heart attack But the bottle of Jack sits on the counter Like the devil she knows And he beats her up and she fills her cup In the ambers of a dime fire glow See how she looked in her school year book Her friends signed imagines all around But would you stay in touch you know I miss you so much and I hope we get out of this town Every day that you get up and force your cards You're playin' your story in fits and stars You take your prospects and your pickaxe And you trudge down to the stream And you bloody your hands diggin' for your dream I went lookin' for the answers from someone I heard believes that life gets easier And you learn how to breathe and you learn How to grieve your past You study the masters and their books Givin' in to the barbs and hooks Till you except it with grace When your true love doesn't last Every day that you get up and force your cards You're playin' your story in fits and stars You take your prospects and your pickaxe And you trudge down to the stream And you bloody your hands diggin' for your dream Every day that you get up and force your cards You're playin' your story in fits and stars Your take your prospects and your pickaxe And you trudge down to the stream And you bloody your hands diggin' for your dream Every day, every day that you go down, down, down You will bloody, you will bloody your hands Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down You take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down You take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down You take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down
