Temporary

from Hail Mary Songs by John Hays

/

lyrics

My friend asked me the other day what I had been up to, and to be honest I had no idea how to answer that question. I said I'd been singing, and I said I'd been fightin. I'd been gamblin on horses, getting old and slowly dyin. the worst way possible, one day at a time. watching the hours crawl by with calloused hands and sorry eyes

sometimes I wanna give it up, let the river drown me downstream
sometimes I wanna live it all, temporary is beauty

most people can't understand realizing you're a working man. that thought makes me believe that all I got in the world is me. spend my days with cups of caffeine, they're the only thing keepin me followin my dream. I knew so long ago, that I'd go nowhere and I'm gettin there slow.
