lyrics

Steam rises from the kitchen sink
as you let the water cool
Your wife’s at work pounding out her dreams
and the kids are safe at school
It’s cold, but the car’s not running right
You’ll probably want to pull the plugs tonight
after you give yourself some time to write
and bring your family home
to the love you have to give them

It’s not a world to be cast into
where babies are driving tanks
Their parents’ lives are stamped and mortgaged
by a thousand failing banks
The world’s your palette but it’s hard to look into --
so many hurt so many for the sake of so few
No one wants to hear you sing it but you still have to
for the love you have to give them

Another night, another bar
scratching your guitar
Sweat, dreams, booze and dust
blend on the floor
for the love you have to give them

The dishes dry up above the sink
as you stare into your beer
and hope the love that’s brought you safe this far
will somehow keep you here
It’s been a few years since you slipped the yoke
some can squint at your life and call you a joke
but there’s a smile and dance even though you’re broke
in the love you have to give them
