lyrics

MOVING MOUNTAINS

Brother sit beside me I can see you need a friend
These cigarettes aren't the worst things that you're fighting
The only thing that's worse than all the blood stains on your hands
is too much time without a thing to kill it

This empty room sure ain't the kind of space that will move the man to walk the straighter path
And I can tell by all the lines etched in your face this ain't the life you thought you have

So take it slow ain't nobody moving mountains overnight
And you should know that changing your direction ain't the same as giving up
It's taken

Too long
It's taken, too long
It’s taken, too long to choose
The things we can't afford to cut loose

Now brother I sure ain’t no stranger to time passing me by
Every exit sure looks better in the rearview
And I've tasted bitter circumstance more than once or twice
With the days linger on like the scotch I drank last night

But I maintain that our lives would be quite plain
If we got the things we asked for every time
The neighbors seem to be growing grass more green
So you take a step into their backyard
So take it slow ain't nobody moving mountains overnight
And you should know that changing your direction ain't the same as giving up
It's taken

Too long
It's taken, too long
It’s taken, too long to choose
The things we can't afford to cut loose
