Big Decisions

(album: Lines In The Levee - 2022)

In this not so high society, it's so hard to get ahead
It seems every rat I try to race always beats me to the bread
I've been spinning wheels, digging ruts, and waiting on a dream
Of this day to day, man, I've had enough, it's time to change some things

Workin on big decisions
Cutting out on this so-called living
You can say my choices ain't worth a damn
That's a damn I'm just through giving
Let them Jones' keep carrying on with
All their running around
Me I'm leaving it well enough alone
Ain't no paradise I've found

Breaker, breaker on that out-bound buddy, I'm off and running and leaving this ol' town
Gotta be something else out there for me, sure 'nough I'm bout to find it out
Heading for them rippling gulf port waters, maybe on to the coast of Californ'
As for when I'll be returning, shit honey, I'm way on past the point

Workin on big decisions
Cutting out on this so-called living
You can say my choices ain't worth a damn
That's a damn I'm just through giving
Let them Jones' keep carrying on with
All their running around
Me I'm leaving it well enough alone
Ain't no paradise I've found

Got deep on some meditation, trying to find me some peace
Came face to face with a three-eyed Jesus, he said, "It ain't that hard you see"
Just sip a little clear in the evenings, say your prayers twice a week
Spend a little less time on the TV news and a little more time on the creek

Workin on big decisions
Cutting out on this so-called living
You can say my choices ain't worth a damn
That's a damn I'm just through giving
Let them Jones' keep carrying on with
All their running around
Me I'm leaving it well enough alone
Ain't no paradise I've found
Me I'm leaving it well enough alone
Ain't no paradise I've found
