Who Am I Kidding?

Oak trees litter the landscape now

In crooked patterns green and brown

Our memories here have just begun

In a long tethered life

This house is steeped in love and sweat

I’ve just begun to wake up yet

To the smell of coffee coming from the kitchen

I love being home

I’ve picked and sang my way

Out of the nine to five

Is that a good thing or a bad thing

Some days I can’t decide

But I’ve quite enjoyed the ride

CHORUS

I’ve been thinking ‘bout hanging it up

Hanging it up, hanging it up

Lord knows that I ain’t gonna hang it up

Who am I kidding?

I ain’t easy to love my dear

I stay out late and I ain’t ever here

How’s it gonna take with a couple of kids

Lord that ain’t livin’

I wake up in the morning feeling 10 feet tall

When the evening comes, I ain’t a man at all

Tomorrow I’ll be a thousand miles

Away from here and you

Maybe I’ll go back to school, and get my learnin’ done

Or maybe I’ll build houses, in the sweltering Texas sun

And pretend that I’m still young

CHORUS

I supposed we’ll just keep at it,

And we’ll see what life will do

But the only things I know are that I’m doing this with you

And that we haven’t got a clue

CHORUS
