lyrics

Driving Twice As Long As I Play

I'm too far where I'm from
My arm feels numb when I start to strum
I remember back when I toured with my thumb
so this life can't be so bad
I'm some nipple tassels away from fame
They can remember my songs and step on my name
steal my ideas while I'm not playing the game
but it won't even make me mad

(Chorus)
I'm driving twice as long as I play
Maybe I'll make it someday

I just want to live
If you give just to get then you won't get to give
It's why I keep on playing this riff
I think I'm good but by now I must be wrong
It's not too easy to see
These days I'm filling in for who I used to be
Knowing things I'm unhappy with will be a memory
or another brokenhearted song

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
I ain't just following my dreams
I'm trying to chase them down
Kicking ass and taking names
my head's too big for this neck breaking crown

Dressing up and playing make believe
Maybe there's something real they see in me
I've been burned so many times it ain't safe to dream
Life's too short to miss out on you
Gotta find a way to slow these days down
If they knew I existed I'd never turn them down
It ain't what is said it's what you thought that counts
when a dream is just something you do

(Chorus)
