To Cure What Ails... Songtext
von Shakey Graves

So I tried a new direction
A new mindset, a new state
But running′s what it is
It's hard when you′re a kid
To find your place

I know a gang of clever fellows
We built a fort out in the woods
We cuss and spit at all the girls
Ain't got a care in all the world
Yeah, the livin' is good

But now I′m supposed to grow
Big and tall
Seems like I don′t get to wear my bare feet at all
But when the storm is through
My feet know what to do
All roads lead to you


I think I've grown a little thinner
Without you riding my coat tails
I would trade it in all again
For a nice stroll in your skin
Just to cure what ails

And I can see a palm tree from my chair
So I don′t really feel like going anywhere
But even if I do
It really is of no use
'Cuz all roads lead to you

And I can see a palm tree from my chair
So I don′t really feel like going anywhere
But even if I do
It's really of no use
′Cuz all roads lead to you

For always trying to please you
I'm never getting any sleep
Love seems easier when it comes
But the coming's just the first part of having to leave

So maybe I′ll die a happy minstrel
Or just a shadow of my former self
I′d undo what I've done
But lamenting′s much more fun
Guilt's bad for your health


But now I′m supposed to grow
Big and tall
Seems like I don't get to wear my bare feet at all
When the day is through
There′s nothing I can do
Baby, all roads lead to you

Yeah baby when my life is through
I know just what to do
'Cuz all roads lead to you
