OLD FASHIONED

Came on vacation
Left on probation
Not a god damned penny to my name

All out of answers
And hopeless second chancers
Not even questions remain

The devil says take these pills and wait
The preacher says to pay my bills with hate
Am I just changing seats on a crashing plane
Finding God, the old fashioned way

Divine intervention
Couldn't ease my apprehension
To live with all the beauty and the pain

When you run out of tomorrows
And count the time you borrowed
Did you give love or did you just take

The Guru tells me to meditate
While the Dr says just medicate
My heart says I've run all out of veins
Finding God, the old fashioned way

And Lord I realize
We've yet to harmonize
But I've humbled by the flame

I'll forget everything I thought
Burn everything I bought
And I'll get on my knees and pray
With a fatal grip undone
I'll learn again how to love
And then I'll give it all away

And find God the old fashioned way
I'll find God the old fashioned way
