My Morning Jacket - Smokin From Shootin lyrics

rate me

[Laughter]<br />

[Bells Ringing]<br />

<br />

Have you had enough excitement now<br />

More than you ever did<br />

You never wanted to be treated like a woman<br />

You maintained you was just a kid<br />

<br />

Well at least you were of age my dear<br />

These days kids they grow so fast<br />

You never wanted to be committed to the present<br />

You're too busy believing in the past, oh<br />

<br />

Who then was your savior<br />

Who then was your friend<br />

Who is now committed to the present<br />

Is it someone that exists<br />

<br />

What is life in God?<br />

A perfect vision of the self?<br />

I always thought we was dealing with one thing<br />

Now we are dealing with something else, oh<br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

Do you see my smoking guns<br />

They're smoking from a shootin'<br />

Smoking from shootin'<br />

Smokin' from shootin at nothing here<br />

<br />

Do you live your life on the road?<br />

Yeah loosing that I'm loving<br />

Asking for nothing<br />

Runnin' from something that isn't there, oh<br />

<br />

Who makes my decisions?<br />

Who reads all your thoughts?<br />

What makes us how we are?<br />

Faith can't prove what science wont resolve.<br />

Kumbaya my lord, c'mon row your boat ashore...<br />

The river's long. It is cold. It chills the body but not the soul.<br />

<br />

Do you see my smokin' guns?<br />

They're smokin from shootin'. smokin' from shootin'<br />

Smokin' from shooting at nothing dear....<br />

Do you live your life on the run?<br />

losing out on lovin....<br />

Askin for nothing....<br />

Running from something that isnt there.<br />

<br />

Distance- coming or going? c'mon.<br />

What are you waiting for?<br />

Distance-growing or closing in on?<br />

Anyway?
