Drive-By Truckers - Eyes Like Glue lyrics

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
