The High Desert Playboys - I Keep Losing the Things I Been Meaning to Keep

Braving the enemy lines, attacking with robots in tow
Shouting her orders afield, ensuring that everyone knows
It ain't easy waking to find, that you've been alive but alone
Devils and deals you've declined, just keeping your eyes on the road

I keep losing the things, been meaning to keep
Keeping the things I should lose
Nowhere to go, nothing better to do
I'd just as soon stay here with you

Settle yourself with your songs, forgetting you still have to breathe
Believing the moment is gone, believing it's just meant to be
Standing there lost on the road, holding a map you can't read
I know you'll be fine on your own, just please find your way back to me

I keep losing the things, been meaning to keep
Keeping the things I should lose
Nowhere to go, nothing better to do
I'd just as soon stay here with you

Measure your life in your songs, one more melody, one more refrain
Forgetting the moments are gone, like tears on your cheeks in the rain
Deep in the fight for your soul, keeping their armies at bay
I'll be there when we grow old, one more song, one more life, one more day

I keep losing the things, been meaning to keep
Keeping the things I should lose
Nowhere to go, nothing better to do
I'd just as soon stay here with you

I keep losing the things, been meaning to keep
Keeping the things I should lose
Nowhere to go, nothing better to do
I'd just as soon stay here with you
