lyrics

i awoke one day to a terrible sound
it was the noise in my mind it was draggin’ me down
it said ya fill me up like storms rain on a boat
and may the lord have mercy that we both stay afloat
oh lord

it’s like a bug on a race to the bottom of a jar
you only move so quick you only get so far
it might be the day that we do ourselves in
or by an act of grace somebody take off the lid

now take it off

i was drivin’ down the street just the other day
was gettin’ nowhere fast everyone was blockin’ me
they said they have things to do
much more important than mine
and if they get them done quick
then they’ll have that much more time

my lord say a prayer for the people today
you know i fear for us all if we keep livin’ this way
they don’t make ‘em like they used to
nothin’s meant to last we don’t drive in the cars
less we’re gettin’ there fast

we don’t drive in the cars ‘less we’re gettin’ there fast
we don’t drive in the cars ‘less we’re gettin’ there fast
they don’t make ‘em like they used to
nothin’s meant to last we don’t drive in the cars
‘less we’re gettin’ there fast oh no

let’s drive
