uncommon connection

john hiatt

well i do my best thinking sitting on my ass

sittin' here waiting for things to pass

you got places to go and people to see

well honey that's you

it ain't me

shit flying in my head

from every direction

i'm thinking about

an uncommon connection

an uncommon connection

an uncommon connection

an uncommon connection

lot of people in a hurry

and they're goin' nowhere

i can see 'em all

sitting in my easy chair

running to the future

running form the past

well i thought about it once but it didn't last

shit flying in my head

from every direction

i'm thinking about

an uncommon connection

an uncommon connection

an uncommon connection

an uncommon connection

you can say what you want

i'm not getting old

i've slowed down time

nearly stopped it cold

i jogged my memory once

then i shelved my plans

i'm tired of holding on to love's clammy hand

shit flying in my head

from every direction

i'm thinking about

an uncommon connection

an uncommon connection

an uncommon connection

an uncommon connection

it takes every drop of energy just to run my brains

took a long time to learn that it's only a waiting game

some people call it depression

i call it a song

don't worry about me

i'm not going to be around all that long

shit flying in my head

from every direction

i'm thinking about

an uncommon connection

an uncommon connection

an uncommon connection

an uncommon connection
