Don't Monopolize Your Mind (feat. Sara Watkins)

My only vice is sad songs and living on the road for way too long

My mind is overactive when I’m back home sitting on the lawn

Transmitting cosmic messages, and calling myself by too many names

Sometimes I forget to lighten up, and remember - that this is just a game

Don’t pass go, don’t collect $200, this time your going straight to jail

Dress up nice and roll the dice, pray that lady luck will grant your bail

Don’t monopolize your mind, with thoughts about things you can’t control

Just go at your own pace, and somehow try not to sell your soul

I woke up a believer, after breakfast I was a doubter once again

I was never good at losing, so I lied and cheated till the very end

I’m feeling pretty good now, but someday I know I’ll have to pay

I’ve learned so many lessons, but I can’t recall - a single one today

Don’t pass go, don’t collect $200, this time your going straight to jail

Dress up nice and roll the dice, pray that lady luck will grant your bail

Don’t monopolize your mind, with thoughts about things you can’t control

Just go at your own pace, and somehow try not to sell your soul

Now all my friends live on boardwalk, I’m still here on baltic avenue

Sometimes when you take a chance, the cards will get the best of you

The railroads got my shirt, the electric company's got my shoes

Sometimes you get free parking, and other days, you just get the blues

Don’t pass go, don’t collect $200, this time your going straight to jail

Dress up nice and roll the dice, pray that lady luck will grant your bail

Don’t monopolize your mind, with thoughts about things you can’t control

Just go at your own pace, and somehow try not to sell your soul
