" You are the salt of the earth..."
Story behind the song
i wrote the music with Jones, and added lyrics later. It's written from the perspective of an aged person lookin back on thier life.
& Tim plays the peccussion great live.
Lyrics
Plankeye- music by Geoff Jones, lyrics by Travis Oberg © 2004
I’ve threw my caution to the wind again
Put my heart out where you can see it
Saw my sin on the six o’clock news
Don’t know if I can take it no more
Don’t know if I can take it
Let this life get away from me, get the best of me
Sometimes it seems this is not my cup o tea
Move on down to San Antonio
Start things off again nice and slow
I don’t wanna waste this life
Hiding from the daylight
Taking my time jumping cracks and telling lies
Don’t waste this life standing still
Don’t waste this life standing still
I know I can never go back
Take up the slack and cut down the moon
It’s like I’m tied to the railroad tracks
On an early morning Saturday cartoon (to chorus)
Bridge: I could do a lot without my brother’s tears
Hang my sister out to dry
Did you really mean the things you whispered in my ear?
Are you gonna help me with this plank in my eye? (solo)
Chorus
Finis
