Got Myself A - Thinkin' Lyrics - Jerry Leger

Got Myself A-Thinkin 

Well, I got myself a-thinkin 

Where did all that time go 

Pushed us in one direction 

Made the sober man fold 

It was a long time coming 

Somewhere down the line 

In coffee shop conversations 

And bar room lies 

I might say I know what you're going through 

You're rolling away 

And I don't know what you're gonna do 

You're like a long distance call 

Drifting much too far from view 

Flowers wither and minds grow old 

Trapped in a cage of song 

All the men on Fade Away Lake 

Keep marching through the dawn 

Pull off the mask of integrity 

Do their tricks for free 

I watched you from across the way 

Pretending to be me 

I might say I know what you're going through 

You're rolling away 

And I don't know what you're gonna do 

You're like a long distance call 

Drifting much too far from view 

Your Father was a medicine diver 

Your Mother was a Queen 

Put you out on an enemy stand 

At the rocking edge of eighteen 

With nothing to look back on 

Not even your own best friend 

I like to think you're getting yourself clean 

Dreaming on a riverbed 

I might say I know what you're going through 

You're rolling away 

And I don't know what you're gonna do 

You're like a long distance call 

Drifting much too far from view
