Faded dreams and blue jeans
Rangers cap, the sweat rings
ThereâЂ™s hole in the sole
Of my favorite boots
Hell IâЂ™ve been at in a long time
WorkinâЂ™ on that, bottom line
And every shirt IâЂ™ve worn
The collarâЂ™s been blue
One of these days am gonna jump right of that shelf
And hit the ground runninâЂ™
At least thatâЂ™s what I keep tellinâЂ™ myself
IâЂ™ve been sittinâЂ™ on the fence for way too long
WarminâЂ™ that bench as chance move on,
And believe me,
That ainâЂ™t no way to live
And heâЂ™s barely gettinâЂ™ by, he really gettinâЂ™ old
And itâЂ™s hard to turn a ranch on rusty bolt
But someday âЂ¦ now somethingâЂ™s gotta give
Busted hands and broken land
And black gold, turned to sand
And the whiskey is the only well thatâЂ™s runninâЂ™ deep
And the dust devilâЂ™s dancinâЂ™ on the mesa again
At the mercy of that west Texas wind
And the tumbleweeds, well they seem to know more than me
And they always find their way right outta town
They never turn back
They keep on rollinâЂ™ and they donâЂ™t slow down
IâЂ™ve been sittinâЂ™ on the fence for way too long
WarminâЂ™ that bench as chance move on,
And believe me,
That ainâЂ™t no way to live
And heâЂ™s barely gettinâЂ™ by, he really gettinâЂ™ old
And itâЂ™s hard to turn a ranch on rusty bolt
But someday âЂ¦ now somethingâЂ™s gotta give
Oooh IâЂ™ve been sittinâЂ™ on the fence for way too long
WarminâЂ™ that bench as chance move on,
And believe me,
That ainâЂ™t no way to live
And heâЂ™s barely gettinâЂ™ by, he really gettinâЂ™ old
And itâЂ™s hard to turn a ranch on rusty bolt
But someday âЂ¦ now somethingâЂ™s gotta give
Man IâЂ™ve been sittinâЂ™ on the fence for way too long
WarminâЂ™ that bench as chance move on,
And believe me,
That ainâЂ™t no way to live
And heâЂ™s barely gettinâЂ™ by, he really gettinâЂ™ old
And itâЂ™s hard to turn a ranch on rusty bolt
But someday âЂ¦ somethingâЂ™s gotta give
SomethingâЂ™s gotta give
