Good Head Start

(앨범: Only Sparrows - 2011)

I was standing on the mountain with the sun on my back
And the shadow I was casting made the world seem black
And if the shadow of one now can block out the sun
Then you'd better make sure that you cast the right one

You can hustle to your left
You can hustle to your right
But you gotta put your back into something sometime
And it can send you down the river maybe tear you apart
But the only path is the path with heart

So I don't care what the weather men say
You've got to parry with the weather till the end of your days here
And if the only path is a path with heart
Then I lucked into a good head start

I felt I'd been down every alley
Beaten down every door
Till I could barely account for what I'd been looking toward
And then she took a turn into my record store
And I knew I wasn't gonna have to look anymore

So I don't care what the weather men say
You've got to parry with the weather till the end of your days here
And if the only path is a path with heart
Then I lucked into a good head start

And it's all about the context that you put things in
That you put us in, that we put ourselves in
Nothing hurts like a context
That you don't want to be in
That's a cage that I never want to see us all in

So I don't care what the weather men say
You've got to parry with the weather till the end of your days here
No I don't care what the weather men do
I can parry any weather much better with you
And if the only path is a path with heart
Then I lucked into a good head start
