Arrows of Time

I learned a long time ago, hope has a dangerous side

Never really know 'til you lay it all on the line

I was caught up in the fray

Was nothing anybody could've done

'Cause life has a way of makin' you pay

No matter how brave you've become

Don't go looking for help or a sign

Don't even question why

Just keep trudgin' on down the line

Dodgin' these arrows of time

Now I think maybe things don't go wrong

They just go the way that they go

It's all fortune and favors, serpents and saviors

The difference, God only knows

Don't go looking for help or a sign

Don't even question why

Just keep trudgin' on down the line

Dodgin' these arrows of time

I'm still the same hungry fool

Little battered and bruised

And I only know what I know

I don't care what comes next 'round the bend

Just know that for now 'til the end

I'll be trudgin' on down the line

Dodgin' these arrows of time

Trudgin' on down the line

Dodgin' these arrows of time
