Steady My Mind

I guess time ain't always simple I guess time ain't always kind But I have to give it credit Because perspective takes some time I know patience is a virtue But I hate to hang around So I try to pull my bootstraps up And hit the ground Lord I want to steady my mind And get some rest so I'd be fine But man, going easy That's where I go wrong I can't reel it in, so I cut it loose I'm steady I guess I move too fast to slow down Until my body shuts me out Cause my desires burn through my head Just like a fire in me now And if I could capture what I'm chasing I doubt it makes me right But I think I'm slowly learning That the pursuit is what I like Lord I want to steady my mind And get some rest so I'd be fine But man, going easy That's where I go wrong I can't reel it in, so I cut it loose I'm steady, but steady on the run For me there's no such thing to fail So I go heavy on my ride in Until I bring me that horizon And in truth, I may be aimless And I wish I could stick around I both love it, and I hate it To be myself Lord I want to steady my mind And get some rest so I'd be fine But man, going easy That's where I go wrong I can't reel it in, so I cut it loose I'm steady, yeah sure I am, but steady on the run Steady, steady, steady on the run
