i call it me

from your own true man by Dan Johnson

/

lyrics

in the paisley night sky i saw a neon zodiac
in the mystic ocean of truth i saw a train track
the words don’t hate yourself were written in the mirror
every step i walk away I’m getting nearer and nearer
all these reasons don’t add up anyways
i’m lost out on the prairie you’re lost here in this maze
i don’t want to get your hopes up i don’t want to bring you down
i just want to quit this broken record that keeps spinning me around
all the people inside want to tell me to move along
but i’m standing outside i been standing since dawn
yes i’ve wondered who i was and thought i wasn’t on the list
i never thought we could live like this
yes i’ve wondered who i was and thought i wasn’t on the list
i never thought we could live like this
yes i’ve wondered who i was and thought i didn’t exist
i never thought we could live like this

i wish i could find a cause for all of these reasons
i wish i could find a handle on all of these feelings
i’ve been working day to day since i was sixteen
found out there aint nothing but birth and death and the line in between

all the things in this world are coming my way
the stars at night and the sunlight in the day
there’s nothing i want nowhere that i got to be
call it lonesome
call it sad
i call it me

i get high and get low but i don’t have to smoke or drink
i just sit in the yard and look at things and think
i know im smart enough to get out and get the job done
i’m a working people and im not the only one

ive got feelings that you can’t see with your eye
ive had thoughts that flew up like a rocket in the sky
i stopped worrying bout the things that were troubling my mind
i been minding my business of living for a long long time
