My Book

This song came about in the quiet evening hours after spending the day building fences. There's a magic that exists in those moments that's fueled by hard-earned sweat and transformed into creativity.

Day gone, so long, my legs are tire and my backs gone

There's more chores for the work horse

me and the lawn we've been at war

I'm spent spent like December rent

and i'd really like to know where the time went

Seems like I was just wishin' I was of age

Guess the wind turned a couple extra pages, in my book

Day gone, the nights long, my heads tired and my hearts gone

to her place, and her face

and my dreams, keep me awake

I blew the dance and maybe my last chance

Wish I woulda known a little bout romance

Seemed like a fairytale but never after

I'm lookin' at a brand new chapter, in my book

You gotta learn to read between the lines with me

Judging covers only got you skin deep

Gotta learn to love a mystery

Oh I bleed my story

Gotta learn to read between the lines with me

Judging covers only got you skin deep

Gotta learn to know where to look

Wont you open my book?

Day gone, welcome, new light on an old song

And its a toothache on a work day

When your boss quit but your check came

On a broken scale that somehow comes out even

And tips right when we need it

Seems like I lived a million days like this

Each with it's own little twist, in my book

You gotta learn to read between the lines with me

Judging covers only got you skin deep

Gotta learn to love a mystery

Oh I bleed my story

Gotta learn to read between the lines with me

Judging covers only got you skin deep

Gotta learn to know where to look

Wont you open my book?
