You were on the outside looking in
Then on the inside looking down
You tried to swim upstream
And you let the dream just drown
You were waiting on your “million dollar idea”
You wound up with a million little dollar thoughts
Tried to run with your bullshit
hoping that you wouldn’t get caught
Now everything you do
Just starting to feel a little bit out of tune
Come on darling don’t you worry
If you slow down there’s no hurry
You’re gonna find what it is I know you’re looking for
Come on darling don’t you worry
If you slow down there’s no hurry
You came in through the broken window
But you’re leaving through the door
There was a time that you talked so tough
Until you were walked on by the town
You felt the shift like a rip
In your thousand dollar wedding gown
Now you’re back to the drawing board
But all you’ve got’s a blank
Miles of open road to go but an empty tank
You were waiting for some kind of sign
To let you know you aint been left behind
And each new skin you slide through
Kills a little bit of the truth inside of you
Come on darling don’t you worry
If you slow down there’s no hurry
You’re gonna find what it is I know you’re looking for
Come on darling don’t you worry
If you slow down there’s no hurry
You came in through the broken window
But you’re leaving through the door
The slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
