From the recording Ghost in the Garden
Lyrics
SOMETHING’S GOTTA GIVE
Wasn’t gonna leave today- no no no
But every reason that I have to stay left long ago
And i wasn’t gonna leave today
Now I’m putting down my tray
Coffee and a cabernet … sauvignon
Dying to escape in the dead of night
Been in line after line for a red-eye flight
Lost a little time to the TSA
Made to to the gate but the flight’s delayed
I’m one step closer… one step…
Something’s gotta give
Wasn’t gonna drink today- no no no
But my designated drivers say we’re good to go
And i wasn’t gonna drink today, then wagon rolled away
I fell off and here I’ll lay... both eyes closed
Sliding off the road like an April fool
On the backside of Boston running low on fuel
Slid into a lot in the nick of time; Couldn’t find a credit card, dollar, or a dime
I’m one step closer… one step… Something’s gotta give
Wasn’t gonna leave today
Everybody’s in my way
I feel a little Marvin Gaye
What’s going on?
I’m one step closer… one step…
Something’s gotta give
Wasn’t gonna work today- no no no
Me, myself and MaryJane were laying low
And I wasn’t gonna work today- Feeling like a refugee
Wildflowers in my way. I need to know
Why’d Petty have to go?!?
Something’s gotta give
Find another place to crash
Grab a Who guitar to smash
I feel a little Johnny Cash-
One piece at a time- I walk the line
One step closer… one step… Something’s gotta give
