Down the hill the dogs are barking
In the half -dark trucks
are starting
Coffee's brewing as the
river fog lifts
Heading out for the morning shift
The road is paved with good intentions
Critters that should look both ways
Even worse than a bad decision
Never deciding anything
Keep it in the middle
What's the measure of the pain?
Little by little
I'm doing the best I can
When I wake up this morning,
then I lay down tonight
I wanna know that I've done something,
I've done something right
Somewhere between before and after
Gettin' there's the hardest part
I wanna skip ahead a couple of chapters
Get to where the good stuff starts
Keep it in the living
What's the measure of a man?
Little by little
I'm doing the best I can
When I wake up this morning
When I lay down tonight
I wanna know that I've
done something
I've done something right
It might be better if I didn't remember
The good old days just never return
I clear my head of every reminder
Might be the only way I ever did learn
When I wake up this morning
When I lay down tonight
I wanna know that I've
done something
I've done something right
When I wake up this morning
When I lay down tonight
Hey, I wanna know that
I've done something
I've done something right
Down the hill the dogs are barking
Half dark the trucks are starting
Coffee's brewing as the
river fog lifts
I'm heading out for the
morning shift
you
