As I wake up alone, after years of playing musical homes, I am not really sure, 'cause it's all such a blur, But I think I'll be home in the fall And as my friends live and breathe, It seems they're doing just fine without me 'Cause I walk like a ghost without what meant the most to me Back before I had it all And it's minutes to hours and hours to days, It's cradles then taxes then caskets then graves But you've got your own world to burn - Don't wait for me, don't wait for me And I was feeling alright It was just me and Jack Daniel's tonight, And I appreciated his company the same It reminded me of Tennessee And it's minutes to hours and hours to days, It's cradles then taxes then caskets then graves On these city streets we can't stop for a while, We just live out our lives every mile after mile But you've got your own world to burn - Don't wait for me, don't wait for me Don't wait for me I'd fly to your arms if only I can move And I'd find a way through the turbulent sky 'Cause I know and you know there's nothing to prove This distance ain't only in miles And it's minutes to hours and hours to days It's cradles then taxes then caskets then graves On these city streets we can't stop for a while We just live out our life every mile after mile But you've got your own world to burn - Don't wait for me, don't wait for me Don't wait for me, don't wait for me So I guess this is the dream, But no one said it'd be such a machine.
