Bag Of Bones

(专辑： The Next Right Thing - 2003)

He said his hip talks to him when it's ready to rain
He's had a little nip and he's feeling no pain
When he gets like this, he feels like talking
He said he took some shrapnel at the bay of pigs
He lost two fingers on a gulf oil rig
Oh, you got to watch him, he'll take off walking

Some folks think he's lost his mind
But he's just running out of time

He said this old bag of bones ain't really me
There's a lot more standing here than what you see
My back is bending low, but my spirit's flying free
This old bag of bones ain't really me

He said, "I live each day like it's my last
Time won't keep, it goes so fast
You better do the best that you can do"
He said, "life's a tune you whistle in the dark
When you get it right, you get a little spark
And the sun comes up and it all dawns on you"

I know this old bag of bones ain't really me
There's a lot more standing here than what you see
My back is bending low, but my spirit's flying free
This old bag of bones ain't really me

Some folks think he's lost his mind
But he's just running out of time

He said this old bag of bones ain't really me
There's a lot more standing here than what you see
My back is bending low, but my spirit's flying free
And this old bag of bones ain't really me
