The Good Lord Knows

Flying fast down these highways Falling asleep behind the wheel That's a hell of a way to start a Sunday Sirens blasting and lying still Sometimes your prayers they'll get answered Some days you'll just talk to the wall One day you'll be that "take-a-chancer" Standing on stage to give your all You've been playing these dues for over ten years It's time to throw life into sixth gear And ride it out and see how far it goes You're barely getting by with nicotine and beer The harder stuff makes you have no fear of telling stories And stepping on people's toes Yeah, I don't know where you're going But I guess the good Lord knows Stuck in a drought working full days Running on empty making minimum wage Caught in the rain fire doing it my way Another half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray Been paying these dudes for over ten years It's time to throw life into sixth gear And ride it out and see how far it goes Barely getting by with nicotine and beer The harder stuff makes me have no fear of telling stories And stepping on people's toes Yeah, I don't know where I'm going But I guess the good Lord knows Been paying these dues through the smiles and tears Who knows if I'll get through this year? Telling stories and stepping on people's toes Yeah, I don't know where I'm going But I guess the good Lord knows The good Lord knows
