Hold Me Back

I was a river when we first met
You drank the water like medicine
I could deliver a line like a jet, boy
Now I’m a little repetitive
I was expecting to grow up to be
A teacher, or maybe the President
The only degree in my whole family tree
I was always a little bit delicate
Crooked and broken, my teeth and my back
But a sober head
Older and slower, I guess, but the dream’s not over yet
I won’t let me hold me back
I made peace when no one asked for it
I got a bicycle when I was three
But I didn’t know how to pedal it
The carpet was soft and the wheels were rough
And I found the stillness unsettling
"You know it will go when you take it outside, boy
Easy fix...
Life is a series of tests for your pride, boy
Don’t you quit..."
I won’t let me hold me back
I make peace when no one asks for it
I’ve got a father who’s down on the bayou
For years, I have only commended him
Saw him in May, didn’t know what to say
I guess he could tell I resented him
"I’m never more than a few states away, boy
Don’t forget...
Know that your life was a brilliant mistake, don’t
gamble it..."
I won’t let me hold me back
I’ll make peace when no one asks
Come and get me, hold me back
I'll make peace when no one asks for it

The Woodshed

It’s been a year or two, I left it high and dry
Figured out my feet, it’s a confusing time
I spent a month or more without a single coil
Under a shady tree, it’s drying up my soil
I am breaking down myself and breaking down
I’m breaking my own rules and I am breaking ground
Am I talking loud? Feels like I’m talking loud
But I am talking now, I better settle down
I will take me to the woodshed
I will take me to the woodshed
Beat myself in the woodshed
It’s been a steady slope, I let it slide and slide
I set aside my woes so I could have a life
I spent a year or more without a single file
In a quiet space, it’s turning down my dial
I am breaking down myself and breaking down
I’m breaking my own rules and now I’m breaking ground
Am I walking fast? Seems like I’m walking fast
But I am walking past where I was walking last
I will take me to the woodshed
I will take me to the woodshed
Beat myself in the woodshed
Get up and get get better (Better)
You gotta get better (Better)
Beat myself in the woodshed
