Carpenter

Carpenter's union at 23 Not exactly common for a man of my speed But I'll do it If it means I can do this too So while you're at home with your coffee Or driving to work in your car And you put on my CD Know that it didn't come cheap Lately I've been coughing And waking up early for $80 a day So I can pay my own insurance And come off as sure as I can It'll be okay I have trouble sleeping All my day's dust carries me through the night But I'll write these songs as long as you'll hear them And it'll be alright I'm a hardworking carpenter Sometimes I put on a mask I do what people tell me and the days go fast This isn't the worst way to spend my time I've tried doing other things with my life But this way there's no bullshit about a t-shirt In the back for you to buy So I can make it back home tonight Lately I've been coughing And waking up early for $80 a day So I can pay my own insurance And come off as sure as I can It'll be okay I have trouble sleeping All my day's dust carries me through the night But I'll write these songs as long as you'll hear them And it'll be alright Well people take steps in all sorts of directions before they die And you've caught me at a funny one You would've at any point in time I won't talk you into taking home a CD I just want you to listen right here I just want you Right here
