Lyrics

We played all night for nothing
But that ain’t nothing new
When you’re trying get a fire lit
That’s just what you do
I was putting my guitar in the case
And some cowboy at the bar
Said how’s about dropping me someplace
I said where
He said aw, not far
Half a mile outside of town
He was rolling something up
By the time I hit the river
You see out of the truck
The road just kept on winding
He sang some cattle song
I just kept on driving
While the melody and the river
Rolled along
SOMETIMES IT AIN’T WHAT YA KNOW
IT’S THE WAY YOU GET KNOWING
IT AIN’T SO MUCH THE GETTING TO
AS MUCH AS IT’S THE GOING
I could see my hands
But they were kinda hard to feel
I just know that they were holding
On to the steering wheel
I looked at the cowboy
He was looking at the land
And singing in a language
I didn’t understand
Sounded kind
Kai yo, lai yah
Tai yay, oh nay yah
When we hit crystal city the moon was going down
cactus and coyotes crawling all around
we walked out into nothing till we were nothing to0
somewhere in the silence something started ringing true
Snapped off a live oak branch and drew a circle in the sand
put another in the center and wiped it clean with his hand
I woke up in a parking lot sweating from the heat
cowboy wasn’t there anymore but his hat was in the seat
some ol western song swirling in my head
dancing like a smoke ring around the last words he said
SOMETIMES IT AIN’T WHAT YA KNOW
IT’S THE WAY YOU GET TO KNOWING
IT AIN’T SO MUCH THE GETTING TO
AS MUCH AS IT’S THE GOING
