Love Of A Girl

I got regret, soul debt, gotta get one hit

Sunlit, unfit, still owe my alma mater

Nightmare, slow throwin' haymakers underwater

Gotta get my head right, love you, good night

Gotta get cleaned up, pressed up, dressed up

Sun down comes around, find me with my head down

Toes turned in with my hands in my pockets

Like a present day hesitatin' Huckleberry Finn

So I sneak out, peace out, peek out the curtains

Of a blacked-out bedroom, passed out cartoon

Version of a person with a whole herd of sheep

Just floatin' in a circle with some capital Zs

Never find me waiting kindly

For someone to come remind me

Why I struggle so

Well, it's all for the love of a girl

I got one older brother, he's a fighter and a lover

And every other day, he seems to rediscover

What the underlying meaning of the dreaming and the scheming is

History colliding with the soul and the showbiz

Don't save much for a touchdown celebration

No, no

Runnin' out the tunnel on a hundred foot elevation

Racin' through the scene like a drop of gasoline

Through a 427 in a Ford Galaxie

Never find me waiting patient

For someone to come explain it

Why I suffer so

Well, it's all for the love of a girl

It's a hard up, hard luck planet that we're livin' on

Heartache partaken of the blue ribbon on

Most of the trails that we didn't put rails on

Showing at the funeral home with bells on

Gotta get woken up, opened up all the way

Lawyer on the phone saying, "Hey, I just called to say

Still two or three bills in the mail on the way

Hope ya doin' all right, hope ya had a great day"

Well, as a matter of fact

I ain't really doin' half bad

I was out running errands from early till half past four

And I got a good deal on flowers at the grocery store

Never find me waiting kindly

For someone to come remind me

Why I struggle so

Why I struggle so

Well, it's all for the love of a girl
