She's got that leaving kind of way She don't think too much on yesterday It's a blessing and a curse Not too good but nothing worse She's got that leaving kind of way She don't let just anybody in One will get through every now and then She'll turn a lover into a stranger There's no hope but there's no danger She don't let just anybody in It's a lonely way to be But it's the only way she sees at all If nothing's ever real she won't have to feel the fall She can make a night that never ends Take your hand and lead you with the wind But it's not what it seems so don't close your eyes to dream Just let it be a night that never ends It's a lonely way to be But it's the only way she sees at all If nothing's ever real she won't have to feel the fall She's got that leaving kind of way It's a lazy summer and days they come Like a rolling thunder he's up before dawn With his eyes wide open walking out into the sun He's an old wanderer just making his way back home He's seen wide open spaces he's stood upon the shore He's seen dark places he don't want to see anymore And he's out here thinking maybe he's been taking too long He's an old wanderer just making his way back home And as days they come and as days they go He finally realizes everybody grows old He's too tired to fight it so maybe he'll just ride it on in Now he's dragging his feet down down old dirt road Kicking up dust trying to lighten his load Praying like hell for someone to come along And help an old wanderer just making his way back home And as days they come and as days they go He finally realizes everybody grows old He's too tired to fight it so maybe he'll just ride it on in He's found cool waters he's got shelter from the cold He's still got a fire burning down in his soul And he's taking his time just waiting for the rhymes to come He's an old wanderer just making his way back home And as days they come and as days they go He finally realizes everybody grows old He's too tired to fight it so maybe he'll just ride it on in... I've had enough of mean spirits Taking me places I don't want to go I've given up on mean spirits Gotta get back what's good for the soul I had to break up with the bottle Started out fun then it brought me down I had to ask myself some questions I had to get right with what I found I've had enough of mean spirits Taking me places I don't want to go I've given up on mean spirits Gotta get back what's good for the soul Show me your friends I'll show you your future Find the ones you want to keep around Others they're like crabs in a bucket You start to get up and they pull you back down I've had enough of mean spirits Taking me places I don't want to go I've given up on mean spirits Gotta get back what's good for the soul Everybody's screaming at each other Everybody's got something to say Turn off your TV talk to your neighbors Be the reason somebody has a better day I've had enough of mean spirits Taking me places I don't want to go I've given up on mean spirits Gotta get back what's good for the soul Gotta get back what's good for the soul
