There's a little weight on the shoulders
but it's possible to lift the heavy boulders
in time, we get a little bolder
in time, we get a little colder
so raise your arms, raise a glass
give a praise for your page filling past.
we've kept clear heads through the dark and dusty nights.
give a little thanks for that, were doing just fine.
I do what I do to break bread, keep a roof over my well fed head.
you're more than welcome to come and sleep in my bed.
let's feel alive girl, were far from being dead.
no need to dwell on the previous days,
just keep your swing and remember to color your gray
were steady in the desert getting by,
no need to worry if were just wasting our time
am I just roaming around aimlessly
or is there an edge to this plate?
I'm taking it easy, taking every peeled chance.
I swear I'm not vagrant but I'm surfing in the sand.
