I've got regret, soul debt Gotta get one hit Sunlit, unfit Still owe my alma matter Nightmare, slow throwin' haymakers underwater Gotta get my head right Love you, goodnight Gotta get cleaned up Pressed up, dressed up Sun down comes around Find me with my head down Toes turned in with my hands in my pockets Like a present day hesitatin' Huckleberry Finn So I sneak out, peace out Peek out the curtains of a blacked out bedroom Passed out cartoon version of a person With a whole herd of sheep Just floatin' in a circle with some capital Z's Never find me waiting kindly For someone to come remind me Why I struggle so Well, it's all for the love of a girl I've got one older brother He's a fighter and a lover And every other day he seems to rediscover What the underlying meaning Of the dreaming and the scheming is History colliding with the soul and the showbiz Don't save much for a touchdown celebration (no, no) Runnin' out the tunnel on a hundred foot elevation Racin' through the scene like a drop of gasoline Through a 427 in a Ford Galaxie Never find me waiting patient For someone to come explain it Why I suffer so Well, it's all for the love of a girl It's a hard up, hard luck planet that we're livin' on Heartache partaken of the blue ribbon On most of the trails that we didn't put rails on Showing at the funeral home with bells on Gotta get woken up opened up all the way Lawyer on the phone saying, "Hey I just called to say Still two or three bills in the mail on the way Hope ya doin' alright, hope ya had a great day" Well, as a matter of fact I ain't really doin' half bad I was out running errands From early 'til half past four And I got a good deal on flowers at the grocery store Never find me waiting kindly For someone to come remind me Why I struggle so, why I struggle so Well, it's all for the love of a girl
