Whimper And Wail - Nathaniel Rateliff

On the run and run I’m wailing

I want to throw my arms and shake

I guess you get too hard to remember

And I can’t put a finger on it

I’ll reach a point and I’ll quit running

Too tired to move my legs

What’s the holdup, what keeps stalling

Why a man that you can’t tame?

I just don’t hear or wait anymore

I’m just a half-wit, easily floored

I think I’ll fall out, and try it again

I think its long gone, and so far we’ve fell

I wonder what we really are

I guess you caught me in my whimper

I tried to skip and break my leg

You found a place to stick let linger

And that sort of bothers me

What’s the point, well why keep rolling?

One morning you’ll awake

Too much dust and I can’t shake off

Lay down, pull the covers over me

I’ve just been honed out, pinned any chord

I’m just some fall back, weak little whore

A man that’s stronger, I lost it somewhere

That’s just the way we whimper and wail
