[Verse 1] Its gonna take a whole lot more Than a cold beer, a cigarette [?] To shake off the lonely lows That make up most of my days It seems no matter what I try to do To make it go away Its here to stay Downtime [Verse 2] I headed out outta old Milwaukee Mustve been eight days ago You know me, Im packin light But my minds got a heavy load People say I got it made Guess its better they dont know About all of my Downtime [Verse 3] Another four hundred miles Another truck stop, another page Another eight long hours, Lord Before I hit that stage Searchin round tryin to find One goddamn familiar face I can call mine Downtime [Chorus] It seems every part of me just knows what to do But put em all together, Lord, and they aint got a clue [Verse 4] Well, downtime to think about All the awful things I done All this selfish livin, Lord At the expense of everyone And all the shit that shes been through So I can have my fun Just me and my Downtime [Verse 5] Its funny how my own songs Come back to haunt me every day Proof Ive been here before And proof nothings changed Still searchin round For that glimpse of life between all the pain I call mine Downtime [Verse 6] I pass a thousand churches, Lord Of a thousand different names Thinkin if the good Lord Adds to me any length of days It wouldnt do a damn thing But make me find a thousand different ways To spend all my Downtime
downtime, lord, thousand, another, searchin
