He said the days are long
When you're listening to the same damn song
He just sits in the wheelchair
And out the screen door he stares
He's got a box fan beside him
He's got a pistol it's for hiding
He knows the cars that pass by the sound of the breaks
He's got life in his eyes and it's a life with mistakes
And he longs to run again
He'd love to have fun again
He'd do anything if he could chase you around the room
And he'd love to drive again
Hell he'd settle for a ride again
Anything's better than watching the sun play tag with the moon
He collects beer bottle caps
And he drops them down into a plastic sack
His face is always ready to break in a smile
I bet you when he was younger
I bet he was wild
He said you know how to make a man go crazy
I'm talking bout crazier than any old lady
Put his ass in a wheelchair
Tell him he's stuck
And he can't go nowhere
And he longs to run again
And he'd love to have fun again
He'd give anything just to chase you around the room
And he'd love to drive again
Hell he'd settle for a ride again
Anything is better than watching the sun play tag with the moon
Anything is better than watching the sun play tag with the moon
