Keep It on A Burner

I've got people, I've got places, I've got things, I've got friends I've got something when there's nothing Coming up from within I've got postcards, I've got music, I've got someone's hand to hold I got whiskey, I've got brandy, I've got use for this old soul Sometimes I feel it dipping beneath the water line But I keep it on a burner in the back of my mind Yeah I keep it on a burner in the back of my mind I got sidewalks, I got sunburned, I got books I haven't read I got neighbors telling neighbors They'll be burning up when they're dead I got wasted, I got waylaid, I got stuck in Lodi again I've got time now, I've got know-how, I've got only to write the end Sometimes I feel it dipping beneath the water line But I keep it on a burner in the back of my mind Yeah I keep it on a burner in the back of my mind Keep it on a burner in the back of my mind Keep it on a burner in the back of my mind I keep it on a burner in the back of my mind I keep it on a burner in the back of my I got wasted, I got waylaid, I got stuck in this town again I've got time now, I've got know-how, I've got only to write the end I've got only to write the end I've got only to write the end
