Coffee in the kitchen
My afternoon religion
No mass, no circus tricks, no sleights of hand
Blacker than molasses
Hell, I feel fantastic
Despite the tracks not falling as I planned
A lonely mug for one listening to Ernest Tubb
Sing Tomorrow Never Comes, lo-fi but clear
I’m still here
I always feel alive
On a lonesome county drive
Windows open floating down Centennial Road
Give my head a shake
Out by the Huron’s banks
With a copy of the latest Rolling Stone
I may not ever make the cover, but I always rediscover
When dreams die, a new dream always reappears
I’m still here
And when my attitude gets loose
And hurls the blues my way
I just sink inside my soul
Ignore the toll it tries to take
Repeat ad nauseam I am okay
I am okay
I am okay
The moonlight is so loud
Cresting over evening clouds
The stars sparkling with ease and pageantry
I drift off as I admire
My waking life retires
And settles into dreams comfortably
Today it was okay, and though tomorrow might see rain
That sunshine finds a way to reappear
I’m still here
I ain't goin' nowhere
