phoenix
and the jackeroo

|
phoenix and the jackeroo |
| have you ever had to wrestle with a river |
| maybe tried to understand the wind |
| ever had to try and move a mountain from your shoulder |
|
when promises and dreams have got you pinned |
| and what about the breaks that always come to someone else |
| long before you're even shot a glance |
| all the things youre living for are put upon the shelf |
| you dont seem to really stand a chance |
| phoenix and the jackeroo whiskey in the rain |
| doesnt make you handle it just to hide the pain |
| phoenix and the jackeroo burn and rise again |
| buddy thats the way its always been |
| ever had a go at tilting windmills |
| spinning seems to only keep them straight |
| or took the time to stand in line for what might seem a lifetime |
| just to find it wasnt worth the wait |
| caught a dose of what we'll call eternal lethargy |
| looked to fellow sufferers for a cure |
| took a swig of promise from an empty wishing well |
| just to find the mixture was too pure |
| phoenix and the jackeroo whiskey in the rain |
| doesnt make you handle it just to hide the pain |
| phoenix and the jackeroo burn and rise again |
| buddy thats the way its always been |
