As You Go

“I been coming up short for a real long time”
Yeah he’s spilling his guts at the checkout line
American Spirit Rockstar Energy
He’s got food in his beard ; gaps in his teeth

He said, “we’re searching for the cheapest thrill
Climbing up the steepest hill
That’s why I visit with the daffodils while I still got the time…

You sorta figure it out as you go
You run around show to show
Cuz this life ain’t mind your business
If you got love then you’re supposed to give it
Figure it out as you go”

He sorts smells like shit but I'm leaning
Yeah I’ve been looking for someone to believe in
A northstar a vanishing point
He’s got a heart of gold ; a ziploc bag of coins

He said, “you can’t change the words you’ve spoken
And you can’t mend every heart broken
Just get it right and trail a vibe to soak in while you got the time…

You sorta figure it out as you go
You run around show to show
Cuz this life ain’t mind your business
If you got love then you’re supposed to give it
Figure it out as you go”

Now he’s snatching up his smokes and his tall tin can
He looked at me his only fan
He said, “when every room floods and it all cascades
You’ll be floating down the river on the bed you made.”

That’s why we’re searching for the cheapest thrills
Climbing up the steepest hills
That’s why I visit with the daffodils while I still got the time

You sorta figure it out as you go
You run around show to show
Cuz this life ain’t mind your business
If you got love then you’re supposed to give it
Figure it out as you go
As you go
