lyrics

I dropped a dime in the box and raised a bottle
to all the clever advice I'll never follow.
They say there's no point in living very long no,
unless you're living the life you really want to.

Riddle me, what is it you see in me?
Riddle me, what is it that sets you free?

I lit a joint and I stared up at the ceiling.
And I pretended that sadness had a meaning.
For a moment I lost the sinking feeling
that if there's hope for the world we'd have to steal it.

Riddle me, what is it you see in me?
Riddle me, what is it that helps you sleep?

I dropped a dime in a cup and raised a bottle
cause all the luck that I've had I've had to borrow.
I'm gonna give it all back, it won't be long no
maybe a week or a day but not tomorrow.

Riddle me, what is it that sets you free?
Riddle me, what is it you see in me?

Hayes Peebles Nashville, Tennessee

“Cerebral lyrics à la Conor Oberst, with no-frills, twangy arrangements that call to mind troubadours like Steve Earle and Townes Van Zandt."
