No Leg Left

[Verse 1]
Took a long ride on two-hundred-eighty horses and
More than a ton of steel
Searching these old mountain trees for anything to ease the mess I'm feelin'
And the lines that swerve where the river curves stir a little hope up in my soul
Wouldn't you know that I don't know
The way my thoughts roll

[Chorus]
You tell me I need to figure my own mind
And I figure I will in time
Just in time to be too late
You've had all you can take
And I've got no leg left to stand on

[Verse 2]
I'm a man child, you already know
Running free as a banjo roll
Getting by, picking, choosing
Life gets real so I don't do it
And I've tried to own every need I've known
Some have grown out of control
And all this trying to keep my youth from dying
Really takes its toll

[Chorus]
You tell me I need to figure my own mind
And I figure I will in time
Just in time to be too late
You've had all you can take
And I've got no leg left to stand on

[Bridge]
Why do I keep on trying
To live more than one life at a time?

[Verse 3]
So watch me sink or watch me rise
Baby, look me in the eyes
If all that's left is just to leave
Baby, leave me on my knees
Yeah, all the questions, so much doubt
It's just a mountain to dig myself out of
'Cause you're in my soul
That much I know

[Chorus]
You tell me I need to figure my own mind
And I figure I will in time
Just in time to be too late
You've had all you can take
And I've got no leg left to stand on
I ain't got no leg left to stand on
Ain't got no leg left to stand on
