lyrics

Somebody said it before
Someone’s always keeping score
They tell it and sing it and show
Our desires are the seeds of the weeds
In our gardens overgrown

If the fields turn to dust and the creek ain’t fit to drink
Would you rather have a boat that sails or sinks
I think today I’ll let the train rattle on
And if you think that the clouds are nailed to the blue
And it’s you whose turning, only you
Is the wind nothing more than your point of view

Well some kind of comfort’s in your sitting room gin
Some kind of love don’t care where you’ve been
And some kind of freedom is endless and within

Somebody said it before
Someone’s always keeping score
They tell it and sing it and show
Our desires are the seeds of the weeds
In our gardens overgrown

The highway is crowded and a hard road to travel
That old Jack of Diamonds is a hard card to play
But there’s an old road to ride and that’s the way
I met a sister on that old road she was asking for a ride
Said I’m on my way to the sea I’m breaking down the Great Divide
Breaking on through to the other side

Well if you ain’t surviving then you must be living
Goodbye desire cigarettes whiskey women
So fare thee well

Cause it’s the same story told
Over and over it’s older than I know that somebody

Somebody said it before
Someone’s always keeping score
They tell it and sing it and show
Our desires are the seeds of the weeds
In our gardens overgrown
