“So Much Of What I Wanted”

Got a pocket full of misery, got a pocket full of change
Got a drawer filled with memories Time herself will rearrange

I’ve got hours blurring days and nights, too many miles behind this wheel

Got two hands to keep me steady now that I know just how it feels

I’ve got so much of what I wanted, yet I face this dark divide
I’ve got so much of what I wanted, still I’m unsatisfied

I’ve got two sisters and two brothers, got a loving family
I’ve got my Mom and my Grandmother, Daddy watching over me

I’ve got good work to keep me going, so much music more to make
Got a life that’s finally growing from a string of great mistakes

I’ve got so much of what I wanted, yet I face this dark divide…

Well, I have more than I could ask for,
some would say better than most
I don’t mean to be ungrateful,
unwilling to give up this ghost Why can’t I take these gifts I’m given
and be their gracious host?

I can’t add one more addiction, have to break them one by one
Need to summon some conviction, get past the damage that I’ve done

I’ve got no cure for curiosity, just pure instincts that I trust
The allure of sheer velocity my enduring wanderlust

I’ve got so much of what I wanted, yet I face this dark divide…

Long past falling, I am fallen,
crawling on my hands and knees
Time is ticking, still I stall in
confrontation with this tease
Someone out there hear me calling,
won’t you hear me, please?

Now, I’ve got kettles all a-brewin’, got five irons fueling this fire
Sometimes I don’t know what I’m doin’ in straits so tentative and dire

I’ve got plans and dreams and grander schemes, and stamina to spare

But in-between, behind the scenes, wonder am I getting anywhere?

I’ve got so much of what I wanted, yet I face this dark divide…
