Tilt your head back and try to cough.

Don't say nothing 'bout the things you never saw.

I ain't living like I should.

A little rest might do me good.

Now I ain't living like I should.

Can you hear that singing? Sounds like gold.

Maybe I can only hear it in my head.

Remember when we used to think that we were tough?

Maybe I could make it bigger overseas.

Fifteen years ago we owned this road
         B                               D

Maybe I can hear poor Richard from the grave
E                          D   C#   F#m
singin' where to reap and when to sow
              B                               D
when you've found another home you have to leave.

Something else you can't believe
