Humdrum Blues

A couple thousand days full of every emotion It's enough to know a woman as much as a man can But still don't quite feel it's the proper devotion To ensure that we can both withstand All of the distractions So hard to keep your head from out of the clouds She'll never have her satisfaction Unless she's sure that we're both strapped down She's so tired of the humdrum, and I understand She wants something tangible, like a ring on her hand And she's tired of my reasons, she's so tired of my broke-ass life And I understand her pleading And she's leaving 'less I make her my wife A couple thousand days full of every emotion It's enough to know a woman as much as a man can And it's not enough to keep her from wondering what I do when I'm gone She's so tired of the humdrum, and I understand She wants something tangible, like a ring on her pretty little hand And she's tired of my reasons, she's so tired of my broke-ass life And I understand her pleading And she's leaving 'less I make her my wife All of the distractions So hard to keep your head from out of the clouds She'll never have her satisfaction Unless she's sure that we're both strapped down I never wanted money Never wanted to chase these dragons Not afraid of being lonely But if she leaves, I don't know what'll happen She's tired of the humdrum, and I understand She wants something tangible, like a ring on her pretty little hand And she's tired of my reasons, she's so tired of my broke-ass life And I understand her pleading And she's leaving unless I make her my wife
