Wash n Wear

Wash and wear

Dirty hair

Just another cold Night

On the edge of Nowhere

Wind cuts deep

Rain chills the bone

No heat left burnin

Just a man alone.

Off the grid

Seventyfour but still That kid

Who believed the World was wide

And someday his

But success came Early

And slipped through My hand

All that shiny promise

Turned to sinking Sand

Yeah the shadows Grow longer

And the nights get Hard

But I keep pushin on

Through the wreckage Of my yard.

Now Im hunched by a Faucet

Washin whats left of Me

Faded clothes

And broken history

Life stripped me bare

Til I ain't got much to Spare

Just an old soul Holdin on

To wash and wear.

Ive known bright Stages

Crowded rooms

Now it's rusted Memories

And a cold tin moon

Material madness

Took more than it gave

Left me fightin for Breath

Like a man in a cave.

But I ain't quittin

No not tonight

I still got a spark

Under all this fight.

Storms try to drown Me

But I'm still standin' There

With nothin in my Pockets

But wash and wear

Yeah

Worldll knock you Down

If you stand too tall.

But I'm still here

Beat up not Disappeared.

Maybe life took it all

But I'm still repairin

One breath one Prayer

Wash and wear.
