One Track Mind

lyrics

Never been the wonderin' kind
Guess I got a one track mind
Out ahead of the slammin' door
Had enough didn't need more
Never did think what everyone thought
Never did buy what everyone bought
Threw away my telephone
Traveled light slept alone
When I make the end of the road
Turn on the light read my soul
Someone might just have to wait
Might be early might be late
Glass half full glass half empty
Makes no never mind to me
I ain't thirsty anyway take it all day by day

Can you tell me anyone
Name of the road we're on
Is it one we gotta take
Or a mistake we gotta make
Three o'clock looks like rain
Five o'clock sky's blue again
New leaves green old leaves brown
All the same when they hit the ground

Nobody's been a guide for me
No one's told me what to see
Some's above some's below
In between is all I know
Gonna be forgiven get in line
Make it to the station just in time
Change in my pocket is just enough
Pray for smooth pay for rough
Was a boy name was Ben
Started out all over again
Followed footsteps up the hill
Never any good at sittin' still
Put the steel in the family
Hardest head you'll ever see
Highway might just get him too
Be ok his heart is true

about

Levi Stevenson Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Here's what I know. Went to Asheville late summer 2006. Had mountains out my window till you couldn't see any further. Went to where rivers begin as drips off leaves and morning dew. Walked through streets that I realized I'd already seen many times before in my dreams… And when I got home, I was able to separate the music from the noise. ... more
