Make Peace with Time

[Verse 1]
They say if I were in Texas with the big blue sky
I'd wanna be right where I am stuck tonight
And I know they could be right
But I still wanna give it a big blue try
Did my mother those same words?
Or did they drill contempt into her?
Or is my rolling so cursed?
If I was still what she prefer

[Pre-Chorus]
Straighten up, button up, girl
Keep it down, keep him around, girl

[Chorus]
I wonder if the sea mourns what could have been?
Does she toss and turn in her sleep?
I wonder if her tides feel the way I do tonight
Or have they made peace with time?
Wish I could make peace with time

[Verse 2]
What's a painter without paint
And what's he to do when there's no one to blame
And what the hell is a writer without a page
I've been feelin' a little like that these days
I've been feelin' a little like that these days

[Pre-Chorus]
Straighten up, button up, girl
Keep it down, keep him around, girl

[Chorus]
I wonder if the sea mourns what could have been?
Does she toss and turn in her sleep?
I wonder if her tides feel the way I do tonight
Or have they made peace with time?
Wish I could make peace with time
Wish I could make peace with time

[Outro]
Straighten up, button up, girl
