James McMurtry - Don't Waste Away Lyrics
Is that smile for me?
Did You come by it honestly?
Can I show you around?
Can I help you tear your fences down?
'Cause I know you foster few illusions, suffer no fools
But you're out past the breakers, driftin fast
I can see it at a glance
You've been a long time locked inside
Long time all alone at night
Prisoner of wisdom, prisoner of pride
Don't just waste away
Don't just waste away
Is that smile for me?
Just like an old time movie queen
Always noticed, rarely seen
And I got no answers, no magic cures
And I got no plans
But I know the darkness that haunts your eyes
And I know those tremblin hands
You've been a long time locked inside
Long time all alone at night
Prisoner of wisdom, prisoner of pride
Don't just waste away
Don't just waste away
You've been a long time locked inside
Long time all alone at night
Prisoner of wisdom, passion, and pride
Don't just waste away
Don't just waste away
