lyrics

DIG A LITTLE DEEPER IN THE FUTURE

Been all over town just riding around
greetings for the new day
whiporwhill and the mourning dove cry
as i head out on the highway
the wind drowns out all kinds of things
and my eyes are burning blind
getting up too early so i get to live
and to be right there on time

looking at the hands on my pocket clock
as i change lanes making time
looking out along the hilly fields
man i wish they all were mine
gold’s too scarce for digging and i found my
one true love
so I’m gonna get home from work today
just to give a little push a shove

(Chorus)
Dream a little cheaper
kiss my little keeper
live a little deeper in the future
write another sleeper
sing another weeper
live a little deeper in the future
vagabond heart living the part
live a little deeper in the future
when i get smart i always start
to live a little deeper in the future

when I get old I hope I don’t get rolled
into the pile of the people who lose
I see them everywhere I go
and it ain’t too hard to fill their shoes
in the lineups at the grocery
they ‘ve been beaten down so bad
and they can’t smell a joke if it came
behind them and kicked them in the ass

living little deeper in the future means
you take the sorrow from the past and learn
roll down the window and let in some air
if you got a quarter tank to burn
make your way to a sunny day
where the river meets the sky
take some beauty and make som beauty
because you never know when you’re gonna die
