Satisfied Man Lyrics - Stephen Kellogg

There's somethings you never get over 

Whatever your parents say 

First on my list of these three things 

Is the sight of my father walking away 

Next on my list would be heaven 

I already know what it's like 

Cause I fell in love when I was 16 with the absolute love of my life 

Last on my list would be losing 

But someone always needs to win 

And thumbing your nose at the boss I suppose just feels like a beautiful thing 

And it's something that nobody tells you 

You figure it out if you can 

Well there's one thing on earth that no one can touch 

It's the sleep of a satisfied man 

Yeah the sleep of a satisfied man 

And I don't know why I love believing 

But it's not from lack of loving you 

You can't remember when you stopped breathing and I can't remember it too 

But I'm coming home tomorrow 

And I wanted you to know 

That the part of me that can make you smile is the same part that needed to go 

And it's something that nobody tells you 

You figure it out if you can 

Well they can't interfer or get inside of here 

To the sleep of a satisfied man 

Yeah the sleep of a satisfied man 

Of all the things I've had to learn 

One won't quit 

No matter how I try 

One won't quit 

It's all that I can stand 

One won't won't quit 

I'll never learn to say goodbye 

But I hope for your sake that you can 

And on April 2nd the birth of my heart 

The day that the zombie awoke with a start 

When I fell for Button and she fell for me 

Back in the spring of 1993 

January 7th 2005 the birth of my blood came fully to life 

When I see St. Peter and ask for my wings 

Just leave me that memory and the joy that it brings 

It's something that nobody tells you 

You figure it out if you can 

It's the things that you never get over 

Build the character of a man 

And if heaven and family and children 

Are what's left of me when I die 

Then I hope for your sake that you're better than me at this learning to say goodbye 

Yeah if heaven and family and children 

Are what's left of the race that I ran 

Then I'll quietly slip to the slumbering peace of the 

sleep of a satisfied man 

Yeah the sleep of a satisfied man 

Yeah the sleep of a satisfied man 

I'm satisfied
