There I go again I'm talkin' way too much
Not a word can get in edge-wise
I hope that no one thinks I'm fine the way I am
It's just that silence never sits right
There I go again, I'm talkin' out my ass
& disappointed no one's takin' me to task
Cause I can't slow it down
& I can't hold it back

Cause you can't build a house on a rolling stone
Everybody's glad when I come and I go
In between they're pissed I'm bad with names
You can't fight a fire with a rolled up hose
& I've never been to half the places I go, 49 of 50 states
But if the creek don't rise & the world's still round
I'm gonna heat it up until I burn it out

I can't help wonderin' if I'm wired all wrong
I've been in almost 40 weddings
I've stained my cummerbund with alligator tears
I'm gettin' too good at pretending
There I go again just pushing it too hard
There's something challenging about an open bar
Cause I can't slow it down
& I can't hold it back

Cause you can't build a house on a rolling stone
Everybody's glad when I come and I go
In between they're pissed I'm bad with names
You can't fight a fire with a rolled up hose
& I've never been to half the places I go, 49 of 50 states
But if the creek don't rise & the world's still round
I'm gonna heat it up until I burn it out

I can see myself a husband with a daughter
I can see myself a lush who dies alone
In between em both's my mother & my father
Beggin' me to pick a road

Cause you can't build a house on a rolling stone
Everybody's glad when I come and I go
In between they're pissed I'm bad with names
You can't fight a fire with a rolled up hose
& I've never been to half the places I go, 49 of 50 states
But if the creek don't rise & the world's still round
I'm gonna heat it up until I burn it out
