"Wild Turkey" lyrics

"Wild Turkey"

For all that passes, and for all that kills me slow
I raise a glass to thank you
A friend at the bottom of the bottle
Thoughts wander back to you
My sanctuary, and to the bar room that you stand in
A window's watch for many

I won't stand behind and fight it all alone in reprise
I saw my dreams were bleeding out
Teeth falling out
My recourse was blind
Rollin' with the semis; bastards laughing wild
As miles got left behind

Rev it up - never enough
I'm ready now. Ready now.
My dreams are drugged - not long enough
Steady now. Steady now.
"When it's right, it's right" it's said
So leave "Well enough" alone
Pack it up. I've had enough.

Cause' this place is the reason I am now a non-believer
It must be hard to look me in the eyes, I know
I can tell by what you say you're frustrated
I feel a little on edge, now I'm faded

My dreams are drugged and not long enough

For all that passes and for all those in the know
I raise one up to spite you
Wishin' I was back there at Borden now
Though it doesn't mean that much to me
In this wasted state of mind
I know the break if dawn will recall it all
But I'll get to sleep just fine tonight to lullabies and cannons outside
