Last Minute Shakedown - Son Volt

You’re constantly defining what’s left

A half-empty bottle of beer

Your misses, match-ups

And now here

A weight lifted, a wait on the next

Some days you don’t know why

And high a-bove it’s all clear

It’s a long way down

Last minute shakedown

Last minute shakedown

Pieces break apart, rearrange

To make focus clear

Out of chaos comes order

And back again

The truth is plain but not seen

Broken out by weathered thoughts

Lifted up, leveled off

And carried down

Last minute shakedown

Last minute shakedown

It’s not easy to change

Not losing this thirst

It’s not easy to change

Not losing this thirst

Some days it’s a bull to drive

Some days it’s a walking dream

Some days like gravity dropping

Some days it pulls you down

Last minute shakedown

Last minute shakedown

It’s not easy to change

Not losing this thirst

It’s not easy to change

Not losing this thirst
