John Davey - Spent Lyrics
I’m all spent like a crumpled dollar noteOr the hull of your old rowboatWhen it’s tethered to the end of the dockFor a dozen years or soMy clothes wore out all around the same timeI feel like I’ve been nickeled and dimedSo darling, if you’d be so kindFind a needle and thread and help me mend what’s mine‘cause I’ve got holes in the bottoms of my shoesFrom chasing after youAnd pieces of them left behindDown on twenty-seven state linesI’m all spent like the end of a seasonTired for all the right reasonsThe return on my exchange is much, much moreThan you could even ever believe inI left little bits of my heartScattered out among the OzarksOn the shores of many northern lakesAnd Louisiana in the darkI swear, I almost fell apartUsing up the sum of my partsI’m all tired and I’m worn outFrom chasing you through so many townsBut my dreams never seem to slow downI’ve got holes in the bottoms of my shoesI’m tuckered out and bruisedBut I swear, one day, I will catch up with you
