Reasoned And Roughened

There's a pen for the page, there's a cage for the bird
And the craziest thing that I've ever heard
Was whispered so soft there was barely a word
Can't nobody hold her to nothing

There's a car in the yard and it's paid for, I'm sure
But the pain in the air is just won't run anymore
I waited and waited but there weren't any cure
On the day it was made, it was busted

There's a bum o'er on the beach, there's a world of sand
There's a girl out there somewhere just meeting a man
I dream of it so often, I built me a tan
When I'm cold and I'm deep in the winter

With the prints in the coast and the black and the grays
As summertime rolls and it's coming our way
The thing I need to dream has been raining in May
It's dug in and deep as a splinter

There's cash for the clerk, there's smokes for the maid
I spoke to the priest, there's men to be saved
But I got her number when I got her name
And three days from now, I'mma call her

There's iron in the oak and smoke in the here
A joke that I just can't leaning on it
That I should have spoke when I kept it all in
Now I can't tell nobody nothing

The wishes got dusty and dirty and dry
Got ridden too hard for too many nights
But some kind of restlessness keeps 'em alive
Just a little more reasoned and roughened

With the prints in the coast and the black and the grays
As summertime rolls and it's coming our way
The thing I need to dream, has been raining in May
It's dug in and deep as a splinter

As summertime rolls and it's coming our way
As summertime rolls and it's coming our way
As summertime rolls and it's coming our way
It's dug in and it's deep as a splinter

There's a pen for the page, there's a cage for the bird
And the craziest thing that I've ever heard
Was whispered so soft there was barely a word
Can't nobody hold her to nothing
Can't nobody hold her to nothing
Can't nobody hold her to nothing
