Lyrics
I’ve got a phantom pebble in my shoe, I have a fading photograph of you, And too little time for too much to do. I’ve got the standard issues. I used to make a living to get through this life, I used to have a woman to call my wife, I used to have dreams to get me through the night, But now I’ve got the standard issues. And I guess that living like this is better than dying, But it’s not for a goddamn lack of trying. So I’ll circle the wagons, I’ll square up my debts And face this endless line of regrets. And if I make it to the end, I sure could use a friend. ‘Cause I’m loyal, if only just a little moody, And I’m thoughtful, even when I’m brooding. So if you’ve got time, whatever you’re doing, I’ve just got the standard issues.
