Carter Hulsey - Way Too Long Now

There is a streetlight out where the children play
Just outside of Austin
There is an old car parked with a glove-box full
It's things I should be tossing
I called a friend to say “I’m on my way, I need a vacation”
She said “I’m right here, find your way, and why not just start staying?”
I’ve been standing here way too long, for way too long now
I’ve been standing here way too long, for way too long now
I need something in my chest
I need a song that’s worth singing
I need something in my cup
Someone tell me, “It’s worth saving”
I see the windshield fog as you doze off
And we’re driving through Missouri
This is a place I’ve loved, a place I’ve lost
But I won’t be long for staying
I just had a friend that called; “We need to talk about things we ain’t been saying”
Now his bags are stacked in our garage, he needs some help with carrying
I’ve been standing here way too long, for way too long now
I’ve been standing here way too long, for way too long now
I need something in my chest
I need a song that’s worth singing
I need something in my cup
Someone tell me, “It’s worth saving”
Did you ever see the moon?
Sleeping in the trees
Can you close your eyes and know it’s time to leave
If we get one night, one life
Just grab your stuff lets go
We can figure out the rest somewhere along the road
I’ve been standing here way too long, for way too long now
I’ve been standing here way too long, for way too long now
I need something in my chest
I need a song that’s worth singing
I need something in my cup
Someone tell me, “It’s worth saving”
