lyrics

I’m not amazed it isn’t true
I’m not amazed it wouldn’t do.
I’m not surprised that all your goods fell down
Cause that’s exactly what they do

I’m not afraid of aching hands
I’m not afraid of unmade plans
I’m not alone in this, that when I do insist
I know exactly where I am

And though I’m tired of feeling bored
And overwhelmed and just ignored
I recognize my flaws and I still grasp at straws
I’ll make the most of what I’m falling toward

And we can use the old damned horse
She’s gonna pull for me, of course
And I got fifteen kegs of beer
I mean it’s old, but hell it’s here.
And it’s got a name

I’ll be ebullient and free
I’ll go and start to at like me
I’ll get up on that horse, go back and find the source
Of what was beautiful and sweet

Ah, come on, let’s go, OK?
I’m optimistic for a day
And though I agonize a bit, I’m back to size
And it feels pretty good to me

And we can use the old damn name
The one that never brought me fame
Or we can throw it back complete
Or we can fry it up to eat
