Kick Around

(album: Black Wind Howlin' - 2013)

I remember how big I felt
When it was brand new
Oh it takes me back
Driving down the avenue
You always ask me
'Why you gotta go this way?'

I said lord have mercy
What's a girl to do
When everything here
Reminds me of you
It makes me wonder
Why do I even stay

These trails we ride have gotten older
You're trying to take things slower
I can't kick around forever
I guess I threw it away

I'm feeling restless
There's running in my blood
Put my feet to the street
You've almost had enough
See come on, honey
Why can't you just play along?

Well, you've made your point
You've stood your ground
I've got you loud and clear
And I won't bring you down
I can feel it coming and I know
That I don't belong

These trails we ride have gotten older
You're trying to take things slower
I can't kick around forever
I guess I threw it away

You've been crying on my shoulder
Waiting for hard times to be over
I didn't have the time to wait
I guess I threw it away

Never one for short cuts or bitter ends
I've got a temporary address for you love to send
Even better, why don't you just knock on my door?

Well with open arms and an open heart
Oh I've been here for you from the very start
But I won't go down on this sinking ship
No more

These trails we ride have gotten older
You're trying to take things slower
I can't kick around forever
I guess I threw it away

You've been crying on my shoulder
Waiting for hard times to be over
I can't get the time to, time to wait
I guess I threw it away

Yeah yeah yeah
Can't kick around no more
