Kelly Mountain road saw a heavy load
With a sagging heart and a break apart

Voices in me stood as thick as thieves
With no sympathy for the beggars art
I have passed these pines 'bout a million times effortlessly

Now I grip the wheel fear is what I feel
At the slow unraveling of me


You tell me it's temporary it's a matter of time
By God don't you think I know it's in my mind
It's right over left and healing the then

I'll soon be to nothing but I don't know when

Well the way I flee on my crooked feet

Barn happy horse on a one-track course
Then I self despise cryin' out my eyes
'Cause the happy trail led me to remorse

But the road is long and the song is gone
I blow empty in my cicada shell
If I saw my choice I might find my voice

But I don't know when and I just can't tell

You tell me it's temporary just a matter of time

By God don't you think I know it's in my mind
It's right over left and healing the then
I'll soon be to nothing but I don't know when


Deep behind my face is a safer place
But old gears are hitched tight to the gate

It's a daily grind waiting to unwind
Till I hear that click that unlocks my fate


So tell me it's temporary it's a matter of time
By God don't you think I know it's in my mind
It's right over left and healing the then

I'll soon be to nothing but I don't know when
I'll soon be to nothing but I don't know when
I'll soon be to nothing but I don't know when
