Fingers and Thumbs

Where is that ol’ lighthouse

I fell in love with your brightness

And I used to see you

A beacon so bright and full of all my dreams

And now the day is night and nights are foggy

I haven’t found a damn thing in weeks

Haven’t worked this hard in all my life

They say when you work hard futures are bright

But they lied

They hadn't tried

Here I am doing what’s right

but I don’t see it

I don’t see shit

I just feel it and

brother it’s heavy

They think I owe ‘em everything that I own

I guess I’ll start selling my fingers and thumbs

But I can’t

They’re too damn stained

And not maintained,

and it’s a damn shame cause

They'll tell you a story but not one of glory

I’m not sorry about a damn thing

It was a good swing ‘cause they believed in me

I’m here

I let people take advantage of me

That’s hard to say to say the least

But let’s be honest I need to be stronger

Before I can’t any longer

And I think it’s time to say no for once

And I think it’s time do something for myself but

They think I owe ‘em everything that I own

I guess I’ll start selling my fingers and thumbs

But I can’t

They’re too damn stained

And not maintained,

and it’s a damn shame cause

They'll tell you a story but not one of glory

I’m not sorry about a damn thing

It was a good swing ‘cause they believed in me

I’m here

Oh, baby, I’m here

They think I owe ‘em everything that I own

I guess I’ll start selling my fingers and thumbs

But I can’t They’re too damn stained

And not maintained,

and it’s a damn shame cause

They'll tell you a story but not one of glory

I’m not sorry about a damn thing

It was a good swing ‘cause they believed in me

I’m here

Oh, baby, I’m here I’m here, I’m here Oh, darlin’, I’m right here
