Car Parts Description - Steve Penk

(Ama) (Can't see you) (Hello, hello) (Where are you?) Starin' at the brake lights Didn't realize it was midnight Maybe it's the way I don't dismiss great intent Can I really be home soon? Meetings on the Westside They ask how my projects coming along I'm convinced I don't want anyone to know But being in disguise will take me down Down places, high stakes Got all I was asking for, went back for a pedicure Time's brazy, remind me of the basics Battling with my bad rapport Who knows what I was searching for? I finally have my chance to really say out loud I FaceTimed you right back, I think that you cut out Still convinced, I don't want anyone to know But maybe all this time will shake me out? (Good morning) Anyone to notice, please? I signed up for the paper round (good morning) I'm sad that you waited out (good morning) Anyone could know by now Oh, and that was some deal, I don't wanna die in it Hate me, that's fine, I don't ask you 'bout my feelings My angels won't abide, you ain't nothin' but some cynics, yeah Oh, I had the best time, I left before it finished You said a legend never cries, how else they supposed to fit in? You know I'd rather stay inside, won't you give me just a minute? Oh-oh Oh, and before I do forget, I remember to listen Try not to mention it Headin' out to stages would be fine You preached her on demand, I saw you in the line I saw you walkin' out that downtown apartment, drivin' with no caution Coupons for your bathroom, I know where you started It doesn't really matter 'cause I can always spot you (I can always spot you) Part of all my family, part of the same run and you did it But why you actin' different? You're not And you know we're aimin' for that one spot? (Sounds about the same) but you act like you didn't know When they found your burner phone, now you celebrate alone Ignore the details and we fail I said, anyone to notice, please? I signed up for your paper round I'm sad that you waited out 'Cause anyone could know by now Oh, it's not a done deal, I don't wanna die in it Hate me, that's fine, I don't ask you 'bout my feelings My angels won't abide, you ain't nothin' but some cynics, yeah (Oh, you ain't nothing but some cynics) Oh, I had the best time, I left before it finished You said a legend never cries, how else they supposed to fit in? You know I'd rather stay inside, won't you give me just a minute? (A minute, a minute, a minute, yeah) Hey, oh-oh Hey, oh-oh Hey, oh-oh (Up the stairway to heaven)

You sit and watch the pines sway, rainstorm a-comin' Dreaming on the front porch watching the dogs come home Heavy on your mind weigh the car parts and linens You're thinking about the old days when they were young Your teeth are coffee stained, you've got to admit You're staying awake just a little bit Your lips are chapped and dry, kissing your girl She don't give a damn As long as she's kissing her man Holding your hand in her hand Doing the best she can You say you want to live a long life, a long life of living Rocking on the front porch 'til the dogs come home You say you want to give her something you've never given And now you're waking up again to realize That waking up again doesn't make you wise Your teeth are coffee stained and you're singing the blues But she can hear your voice Over the evening news Sing anything you choose You've only got time to lose Your teeth are coffee stained, you've got to admit You're staying awake just a little bit Your lips are chapped and dry, kissing your girl She don't give a damn Long as she's kissing her man Holding her hand in your hand

Well I know sometimes you find it hard To understand just what we do out here Well, that bus rolls up at home And I just disappear And I sure don't like to leave you Couldn't stand for you to think that I don't care So I wrote this job description Just to tell you what I do when I'm not there I sleep eighty miles an hour To the whining of a diesel down the interstate Dreamin' 'bout my little girls The easy chair that sits beside the fireplace Then we shut her down in another town Shower up and do just what we came to do Sing for the people Count the money and the miles back home to you Well,each night I take the stage With a six piece band and a guitar in my hand Singin' songs about my life All the good times and the bad Then we say goodbye and we load it up And head somewhere I've already been Then I lay down in that double bed alone And I thank the Lord again And I sleep eighty miles an hour To the whining of a diesel down the interstate Dreamin' 'bout my little girls The easy chair that sits beside the fireplace Then we shut her down in another town Shower up and do just what we came to do Sing for the people Count the money and the miles back home to you Well,I just sing for the people Count the money and the miles back home to you
