Livin' on the Inside Lyrics

Books are stacked on my table, Books are filling my shelves
Day and night I've been trying to unravel myself
But I've been looking for answers that don't seem to want to be had
People don't live too long when they're feeling this back
I miss those Labor Day picnics, like the ones that we used to have
When no ones worrying about nothin', no ones feeling bad
I wanna roll down the hillside and lay dizzy in the cool green grass
And jump around like a frog in a gunny sack
I don't wanna know about nothin' unless it's something I can see or touch
Cause I've been living on the inside too much

My friend, she's got some babies, and she loves them with all of her might
They run her around all day, They keep her up at night
But she can kiss those faces and she's the one who gets to see them smile
I'm thinking maybe that would beat this by a pretty long mile

I don't wanna know about nothin' unless it's something I can see or touch
Cause I've been living on the inside too much
I don't wanna know about nothin' unless it's something I can see or touch
Cause I've been living on the inside a little too much.
