All Four

(album: Handguns - 2011)

Everything here is not sewn up tight,
I've good reason for concern
All my options are becoming fences
None of which include a gate.
What if I need to escape?

But I'm still waiting on the porch
I gotta keen sense of the edge
I might work here till I've risked it all
With no strength to turn round
All my efforts in the air

I'm just trying keep my head above the ground
Make a simple good living somehow
All four wheels on the road

All the local roads are freezing over
I'm sure it's unsafe to drive
I been weary at the wheels so long
Think of all that I've passed up
Wonder how I've come this far

I'm just trying keep my head above the ground
Make a simple good living somehow
All four wheels on the road

I've traded 7 years for this
And I'm buried in repair
The burned out headlight, these four brakes
And I have no idea what is next
Now I'm pushing home

I'm just trying keep my head above the ground
Make a simple good living somehow
All four wheels on the road

This is not in favor with the odds
My discretion's out of practice
I might end up broken down
Way out where there's no one around
