Eyes Like Glue

I see you watching me--your eyes are just like glue Stuck like glue to every foolish thing I say and do There's a safer distance still not out of touch If daddy's quiet, it probably means he's thinking way too much Someday you'll be a man--you'll have a big old brain You won't need it, but you'll try to use it just the same But it's like any house lonely people roam around Wasted empty space, a maze with only one way out Nobody ever told me half the things I'm telling you Even if they had, I'd have had the same look that you do Sometimes you think it and you want to hear it said out loud If no one else does, then it's up to you to shout it out You'll want to do it all and you'll believe you can But when the best that you can do becomes all you can stand You'll know you're just a man when you feel all the weight press down Next time you're watching me, remember that's all I am now --- Eyes Like Glue - Patterson Hood, Jason Isbell and Mike Cooley
