Last Minute Shakedown Lyrics - Son Volt

You're constantly defining what's left 

A half-empty bottle of beer 

Your misses, match-ups 

And now here 

A weight lifted, a weight on the next 

Some days you don't know why 

And high a-bove it's all clear 

It's a long way down 

Last minute shakedown 

Last minute shakedown 

Pieces break apart, rearrange 

To make focus clear 

Out of chaos comes order 

And back again 

The truth is plain but not seen 

Broken out by weathered thoughts 

Lifted up, leveled off 

And carried down 

Last minute shakedown 

Last minute shakedown 

It's not easy to change 

Not losing this thirst 

It's not easy to change 

Not losing this thirst 

Some days it's a bull to drive 

Some days it's a walking dream 

Some days like gravity dropping 

Some days it pulls you down 

Last minute shakedown 

Last minute shakedown 

Some days it's a bull to drive 

Some days it's a walking dream 

Some days like gravity dropping 

Some days it pulls you down
