Buy Yourself a Saddle

Verse 1 I carried every sentence Like glass inside my hands Certain every criticism Was aimed to kill my plan Then a friend looked at the page Quietly smiled Said… “I think there’s another song Hiding underneath this one.” Sometimes the weight of things Isn’t in the words It’s in stealing silence From voices yet unheard Chorus If one heart misunderstands you Keep walking If twenty-five hollar jack-ass go buy yourself a saddle No, those others aren’t all right But love’s a conversation Makes you honest with yourself before that deadly train Leaves the station Verse 2 We sand each other’s edges Not to make them disappear Only so the hidden grain Finally appears The invisible weight Becomes letting go When somebody else Can help you carry yourself home Bridge Every great song Is a conversation Every writer Is unfinished Every friend Is another verse. Chorus If one heart misunderstands you Keep walking If twenty-five hollar jack-ass go buy yourself a saddle No, those others aren’t all right But love’s a conversation Makes you honest with yourself before that deadly train Leaves the station Final Chorus If one heart misunderstands you Keep walking If twenty-five hollar jack-ass go buy yourself a saddle No, those others aren’t all right But love’s a conversation Makes you honest with yourself before that deadly train Leaves the station
