240109: Let The Car Drive You

from Leap Songs, Part 3 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

So it's a Tuesday an empty suitcase
A slate and silver kind of sky
Can barely muster my bread and butter
Feel like givin' up tryin' to try

If I ain't got nothin' at all
Pourin' out of the faucet
And I feel like climbin' the walls
It's all part of it

There'll be days when you just don't have it
Everything sounds a lot like static
And all you can do is act as if

Keep your hands on the ten and two
If you can't drive let the car drive you
When you ain't got nothin'
Maybe that's the gift

To miss the sunshine to wish that sometimes
I could order up a smile
Between the gospel and empty bottles
Guess I'm still a child
