Tough Questions Lyrics

You took a job that is an hour drive each way

Building giant homes that all look alike

It pays the bills sure, but what else does it return

And is it worth all of the life you're giving up

The house will be there with the burden of a plan

And thirty years until you finally pay it off

The thought remains that you'd be better off this way

But does someday an earnest ever show up

Tough questions

It's hard to say...

I bought a car and drove it ninety miles away

So I could be all by my fucking self

I took a job (ah!) laying shingles down outside

Taking breaks and watching clouds rolling by

Now fifteen years are gone and nothing else has changed

Except the day and how I choose to fill it up

Now I am safe and totally out of the way

But is it worth all of the life that I gave up?

Tough questions

It's hard to say... woo!
