Drive-By Truckers - Perfect Timing lyrics

Here I am again, perfect timing
The strings are ringing and
The words are rhyming
I used to hate the fool in me
But only in the morning
Now I tolerate him all day long

Out on the highway I hear the moaning
That low and lonesome whisper you
Only know from longing
Through those naked trees at
The windows glowing orange
Taking over that cold shoulder racing by

I might have known before
If I'd got this old before
I thought I got too cool to give a damn
That who you see in dreams at night
Seem to spend their afterlives
Trying hard to live the last one down
Here I am again, perfect timing


The strings are ringing and
The words are rhyming
I used to hate the fool in me
But only in the morning
Now I tolerate him all day long
