The sun beats down on the freeway
The breeze barely crawls through the screen
And all that I can see are the s***es
Left here by what might have been
You will not see me in Houston
If I'm who you come looking for
I'm not going to work in the morning
I ain't washing dishes no more
Now I have never claimed to be perfect
But I haven't been so bad
And I can't count the days I'll be leaving
But I'm glad for the ones that I've had
And no one can take this heart from me
And no one can scatter my soul
But it's hard mister dying by inches
From something I can not control
So Lord let me run in your meadows
And Lord let me sleep in your arms
Protect me from all of these people
Who think that I'm doing them harm
The living may claim we are different
But dying makes us all the same
So while you are here don't forget me
From time to time mention my name
The breeze barely crawls through the screen
And all that I can see are the s***es
Left here by what might have been
You will not see me in Houston
If I'm who you come looking for
I'm not going to work in the morning
I ain't washing dishes no more
Now I have never claimed to be perfect
But I haven't been so bad
And I can't count the days I'll be leaving
But I'm glad for the ones that I've had
And no one can take this heart from me
And no one can scatter my soul
But it's hard mister dying by inches
From something I can not control
So Lord let me run in your meadows
And Lord let me sleep in your arms
Protect me from all of these people
Who think that I'm doing them harm
The living may claim we are different
But dying makes us all the same
So while you are here don't forget me
From time to time mention my name
