In the Meantime

I been saving all my nickels and half of every dime

I been washing all the blankets, God knows that I’m trying

I fixed the gate

We will find each other so they say

In the meantime, I’m lonesome while I wait

Now I’m lying to my family of who I’m thinking about

I had another woman, somehow she found out

She always knew

We’ll be honest with each other me and you

In the meantime, I’ll break a heart or two

I’m selling saws and hammers for half of what they’re worth

I’m dreaming for a living, I got no time for work

It’s getting hard

One day we will never be apart

In the meantime, I’m wondering where you are

I’m burning sheets of plywood that I pried up off the floor

The house is out of lumber, at least for now I’m warm

For now I’m warm

We’ll be warm aneath a Carolina moon

In the meantime, I should find another room

I’m sleeping in the closet, I’m lucky when I sleep

I’m drinking from the faucet, I’m scared of the police

What should I do

One day you will be my reason to

In the meantime, I’ll just be passing through
