Distractions Songtext
von Mike McClure

Distractions all around
It′s too much, I guess
Especially right now
'Cause the world is such a mess
Yeah, but this guitar feels good
And the strings they ring out loud
And the spaces in the wood
Oh, that I have worn down

So light a candle if you want to, but I′m past all that
And only one thing can keep my thoughts tonight
I like it when the words want to fall out
Like them better when they don't even feel like mine

'Cause I′m tired of worrying, that′s really not my style
And I'm waking up, I′ve been away awhile
I don't remember your name, but I love you just the same
Oh, I′ll be on my way, which way was I going?


So welcome to the new you
Oh, when it's a secret path
Even you were not alone
And you were not your past

So light a candle if you want to, but I′m past all that
And only one thing can keep my thoughts tonight
I like it when the words want to fall out
Like them better when they don't even feel like mine

I'm tired of worrying, that′s really not my style
And I′m waking up, I've been away awhile
I don′t remember your name, but I love you just the same
Oh, I'll be on my way, which way was I going?
Now it′s time to lay low

The crops are all in the field
It's time to go slow
But time to polish my shield
It′s been a long rodeo
It's still the long way to go
