Too Many Hours To Go

looking at the better half’s
where each man plans…and God laughs
too many hours you owe
to let your mind wander
in a place you don’t have to go

cooking a story to tell
a heaven on earth…all gone to hell
too many hours to steal
to lay down your hand
on a wish that’s not real

too many hours to go
there’s no one who understands you
better than you know…
too many hours left to go
you can’t stand and plant seeds
you won’t sit down and watch grow…
