Band of Annuals — David's Country lyrics

Lyrics

You choose your way, and I
By God, I will choose mine
Thumb, wind, earth, guitar in hand
You sought the high life
With those rich and shameless men
And I get my fill on one-night stands
You wanted the things that I
I couldn’t possibly buy
And I wanted to wander and sing my songs
Your life became parties
With handsome men and jealousies
And I worked the dark and dingy bars
So why do we seek and yet always want?
Why do we go and never arrive?
I’d give it all, but darling, tell me what’s the use?
It will never gain back our youth
Now in the twilight
I try not to wonder why
A pass of change in years gone by
Well, the riches you wanted
And the fame that I sought were
Not achieved by us on our goodbye
And you found your lake lit home
And I found my national fame
Oh, the robber, and we’re shamed (?)
So tell me what it’s worth
With all the splendors of the earth
And why couldn’t we see our paths were the same?
So why do we seek and yet always want?
Why do we go and never arrive?
I’d give it all, but darling, tell me what’s the use?
It will never gain back our youth
It’s coming down
I’m gonna drown
The rain will wash me away
I’ll be ok
I’ve seen better days
But I’ll still love you just the same
So why do we seek and yet always want?
Why do we go and never arrive?
I’d give it all, but darling, tell me what’s the use?
It will never gain back our youth
