about

An oldie from the vaults.

lyrics

This won't take too long, it's just another travelling song
I just thought you might like to know what's been going on

You know how you said I was the 'next big thing'?
I guess after twenty years I'm ready to believe almost anything

I sing songs about suicide on morning T.V.
Yes ma'am, that was my face you saw in your in-flight magazine

I've been damned with faint praise and some people hate the records I make
I get hate-mail, stalked and trash-talked. Hell, sometimes I even get paid

They'll be sitting high on the hog
While your going out of your mind on the road
I never fooled myself into thinking I could win no, no, no
I Just hope I can sleep through the night again

I must have been out of mind, thinking I could make an honest living
You try being honest even half the time and you'll find out just who is forgiving

I'm having a heart attack just thinking about all the money I owe
I could eat this week if I sell three c.ds and do some promo for the rest of these shows

They'll be sitting high on the hog
While your going out of your mind on the road
I never fooled myself into thinking I could win no,no,no
I Just hope I can sleep through the night again

Yeah yeah, yeah, through the night again oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

They'll be sitting high on the hog
While your going out of our mind on the road
I never fooled myself into thinking I could win no,no,no
I Just hope I can sleep through the night again
I Just hope I can sleep through the night again
