Exhaustion's still an option and it's closer than it seems
Though they do their best to tell me the end is still just a dream
But it's not the end I'm dreaming, only just where I belong
Where we wrote our own beginnings, make it all up as we go
Here, a lonely yawn of decades
Laying still, counting grass blades as they grow
And I could lose another moment saying things I've said before
But the diesel men are talking, and our bourbon's running low
Running low, running low
And I suppose I've still some of those "wasted mornings" I could spare
I suppose

And I could lose another moment saying things I've said before
But the diesel men are talking, and our bourbon's running low
Running low, running low
