Sober Mind

(album: Where The Flowers Don't Die - 2023)

Sober mind
Sober mind
No, I don't mind
A sober mind
A sober mind
Sober mind
Sober mind
No, I don't mind
A sober mind
A sober mind is fine

Aye
The mind is a terrible thing to waste
So you should tighten up
And when you get that through your head then you might lighten up
I know you trying but it don't seem to be quite enough
The sun is shining but it don't seem to be bright enough
This little mind of my mine it take time
If I ever get to thinking too much I take five
I be damned if I let a bad thought take mine
I'm protecting my peace like the laws at the state lines
Kill everything or kill nothing at all
The bigger the obstacle then the bigger it may fall
Before you get to run you gotta walk after you crawl
Never wave your white flag just put your back against the wall
And keep swinging
If you got a microphone you need to keep singing
In other words if you alive you need to keep breathing
If you holding onto life then you should keep clinging
Destruction calling I just let the phone keep ringing

Sober mind
Sober mind
No, I don't mind
A sober mind
A sober mind
Sober mind
Sober mind
No, I don't mind
A sober mind
A sober mind is fine

Breathe through it
Breathe through it
This ain't nothing you can breeze through it
Life is like a book you gotta read through it
And if at first you don't succeed then you can re-do it
So stop paying attention to what she doing, he doing
How you expect to keep moving forward, you looking back
You went from overlooked, now you the one they looking at
Look at that
You the one they call to get they bookings back
'Cause when the product dope then you the one they call to cook the crack
Slow boogie better no boogie
Believe that
If you got a goal then set a plan so you'll achieve that
If it don't leave you better off then you should leave that
If it's coming out your mouth then watch your words make sure you mean that
You gone complain or get it done
Face the pain or you can run
Whichever one you choose just make sure you can live with it
Take a plane or take the bus
Either way it's not a rush
It's not about the time it's what you did with it

Sober mind
Sober mind
No, I don't mind
A sober mind
A sober mind
Sober mind
Sober mind
No, I don't mind
A sober mind
A sober mind is fine

It's taking a long time but
I don't mind
And it's been tough ride but
I don't mind
It's been a hard climb but
I don't mind (Nope)
I don't mind (At all)
I don't mind
Keep my head up I'm maintaining a sober mind
And I'm fed up but I'm keeping a sober mind
I can't let up I gotta keep a sober mind
A sober mind is fine
