Dead Horse

Sick of this life
Not that you'd care
I'm not the only one
With whom these feelings I share

Nobody understands
Quite why we're here
We're searching for answers
That never appear

Maybe if I looked real hard, I'd
I'd see you trying too
To understand this life
That we're all going through

(Then when she said she was going to, like, wreck my car)
(I didn't know what to do)

Oh, sometimes I feel like I'm beating a dead horse
And I don't know why you'd be bringing me down
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
It may sound funny, but you'd think, by now, I'd be smiling

I guess some things never change
Oh, never change

I met an old cowboy
I saw the look in his eyes
Something tells me he's been here before, 'cause
Experience makes you wise

I was only a small child
When the thought first came to me
That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son that
Brought back the devil in me

Oh, but sometimes I feel like I'm beating a dead horse
I don't know why you'd be bringing me down
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
It may sound funny, but you'd think, by now, I'd be smiling

Yeah, I guess some things never change
Oh, never change

I ain't quite what you'd call an old soul
Still wet behind the ears
I've been around this track a couple of times
But now the dust is starting to clear, oh, yeah

Sometimes I feel like I'm beating a dead horse
I don't know why you'd be bringing me down
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
It may sound funny, but you'd think, by now, I'd be smiling

Oh, yeah, I'd be smiling
No way I'd be smiling
Oh, smiling

Sick of this life
Not that you'd care
I'm not the only one
With whom these feelings I share
