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 being

But 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?
And 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

But 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

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

Yeah, but you tell me it's temporary and 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
