Lyrics
Woke up groggy, slid off the wrong side Hit the ground running, then missed my stride A thought for your penny, worth its weight in gold, I'm selling out the farm before the story's even told. I read between the lines, but the lines read me Couldn't see the forest, got stuck on a tree Let the cat out the bag, now the bag wants rent Got two cents left and neither one makes sense Got all my wires crossed, clear as a bell, Just mixing my idioms... can't you tell? It's water under troubled horses Every cloud has lost its course I'm barking up a silver lining The sun refuses to keep shining Let sleeping dogs spill all the beans Now nothing says what it used to mean I'm headed for country-fried jail 'Cause my train of thought derailed Counted all my chickens while they crossed the road Put my eggs in one basket then dropped the whole load Took the bull by the horns and it pulled the wool in my eyes Bought a pig in a poke in sheep's disguise Bit off the grapevine, more than I could chew Killed two stones with one bird, caught the cuckoo too Made a molehill from a mountain, lost a hill of beans Now I'm caught red-handed painting everything green Got all my wires crossed, clear as a bell, Just mixing my idioms... can't you tell? It's water under troubled horses Every cloud has lost its course I'm barking up a silver lining The sun refuses to keep shining Let sleeping dogs spill all the beans Now nothing says what it used to mean I'm headed for country-fried jail 'Cause my train of thought derailed Twisting my tongue, tying knots in my brain, Missing the boat while catching the train. The shoe's on the other foot, but neither one fits At the end of my rope, but the rope never ends Burned my candle down at both wrong ends Built a bridge too far, then I burned it again Now the ball's in my court, but the court's adjourned Guess I live and learn, but I haven't quite learned Got all my wires crossed, clear as a bell, Just mixing my idioms... can't you tell? It's water under troubled horses Every cloud has lost its course I'm barking up a silver lining The sun refuses to keep shining Let sleeping dogs spill all the beans Now nothing says what it used to mean I'm headed for country-fried jail 'Cause my train of thought derailed Derailed Derailed My brain just failed Train of thought derailed
