I’m cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world I love you and I’m willing but I cannot keep you girl Philly by the morning and ohio by the night The thing about a long rope is you can’t hold on too tight Wooden floors and coffee cups Stepped on and all used up But I reckon that’s what morning are for And everyone thinks they know me now In these close minded leave me towns But I’m too young to even know myself There’s wheels running down the interstate Lord I’ll wait another day cuz I ain’t close to you There’s time ticking on the interstate And lord I hate that I ain’t close to you And I’ll my friends have moved away Some got jobs and some got saved they talk to me like I am still that kid The fighting, fiendin Okie son The restless, reckless, hopeful one Who once was proud of everything he did Do you remember 25 long legs and loving time Seems like 10 lifetimes ago I’m cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world I love you and I’m willing but I really have to go There’s wheels running down the interstate Lord I’ll wait another day cuz I ain’t close to you There’s time ticking on the interstate I’m fighting fate And lord I hate that I ain’t close to you I’m cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world I love you and I’m willing but I cannot keep you girl Wooden floors and coffee cups Stepped on and all used up But I reckon that’s what morning are for
