Lyrics

It's hard to notice when you lose hold
One day life spins out of control
My father's just a memory
And it's harder these days than it used to be

The promise inside you never dies
It's lyin' low as the years roll by
Choose one dream, another flies
To the ether of our minds

I hear your lament
And I feel your distress
To rue what might have been
Is the source of your unrest

Lift it like a baby
Hold it close to your bones
To punch the clock in peace
You must be free to let it go

The soil has been plowed
But the field lies fallow
Those long dormant dreams
Don't need to sleep no more

How I got here, I don't know
Gotta change the tire on the old backhoe
Can't get out of my own way
Sometimes I feel like it's too late

What have you got that burns inside
Nothing to lose, no place to hide
Throw that sleeping dog a bone
Can't take it with you when you're gone
