Catastrophe

I dreamed about a new path

Then woke up to walk the old

So I set off to find something thats new

I climbed the tallest mountain

To see the lowlands all around

There's a million ways to the top

But it's the same damn view.

So walk away when you can

From a life that you can't stand

You're the author

Of your own catastrophe

Just take it for all it's worth

All the joy, and all the hurt

Or where you are is where you're going to peak

Living is a gamble baby

And lovin' is much the same

But Mr. Simon

Let the blues run his own game

When the coin is flipped

No matter how it hits the ground

It's a bet that you can't make without your chips down

So walk away when you can

When you've been dealt a hand

You're the author of your own catastrophe

Just take it for all its worth

It might be gold, it might be dirt

But living costs too much if you ain't free

I took a trip back home

To see how far I've really come

It's clear to me that I'm my father's son

No matter how much luck you have

Or what you think your owed

Life finds a way to keep you on the run

So walk away when you can

But keep in touch with your old man

You're the authors of your own catastrophes

Just take it for all its worth

Cause who you are ain't your work

And where you are is where you want to be

So walk away when you can

When you been dealt a hand

You're the author of your own catastrophe

Just take it for all its worth

It might be gold, It might be dirt

But living costs too much if you ain't free

Yeah living costs too much if you ain't free

Oh living costs too much if you ain't free
