Old Fashioned

OLD FASHIONED

Came on vacation

Left on probation

Not a god damned penny to my name

All out of answers

And hopeless second chancers

Not even questions remain

The devil says take these pills and wait

The preacher says to pay my bills with hate

Am I just changing seats on a crashing plane

Finding God, the old fashioned way

Divine intervention

Couldn't ease my apprehension

To live with all the beauty and the pain

When you run out of tomorrows

And count the time you borrowed

Did you give love or did you just take

The Guru tells me to meditate

While the Dr says just medicate

My heart says I've run all out of veins

Finding God, the old fashioned way

And Lord I realize

We've yet to harmonize

But I've humbled by the flame

I'll forget everything I thought

Burn everything I bought

And I'll get on my knees and pray

With a fatal grip undone

I'll learn again how to love

And then I'll give it all away

And find God the old fashioned way

I'll find God the old fashioned way
