A little bit of what it is to be too much and not enough all the time and never.

“Complications”
Written by Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler
Copyright Penny Jar Publishing 2016
If I had a little more patience, and you had a little more therapy,
You could be my mother, I could be your daughter,
We could bake a pie for our father and our brother.
Get you some work, now, lady.
Or get you the hell from here.
Oh, I’ve been cooking so long, My stove don’t work, but my hands try on.
Johnny Horton hootin’ out a holler song, Yoakum come and broke the radio--
Every tune we know was to heading down the road
When your sister took your daddy’s truck to western parts unknown.
Get you a ride, now, lady.
Or get you the hell from here.
Oh, I’ve been running so long, My feet don’t work, but my brain tries on.
Get you a man, now, lady,
Or get you the hell from here.
When you gonna get yourself a baby? You can tell him what your mama knows.
We got complications and we need someone to fix ‘em,
And we think that we can fix ‘em with those little tiny toes.
Get you some worth, now, lady.
Or get you the hell from here.
Oh, now I’ve been failing so long,
My eyes don’t work but my heart tries on.
I’ve been failing so long,
My heart don’t work so my brain tries on.
I’ve been failing so long,
My brain don’t work so my hands try on.
I got more trouble than song.
