Intro: He said “I suffered from pavement rash, I've been bent, twisted, spent, de-gigged, flipped, trapped and ba-bapped.” But he said “I never was so *dug/drunk* in my whole life like I was with this here last gig you put me on. He said it was rough… It was gullah rough…” Leave me a Bible by the side of the road We're gonna need us a message By the time we get to Oswego 87 days and half my brain You know the road is long But I'm short and I'm still the same Friends can't fit in front of me They spill out to the side But they're here anyway We're all here anyway I've been struttin' around like the remedy The cure for the sore and the bored But I got something to say I think so anyway Get'er on quick before I stay I'm gonna need me a reason to leave By the end of the day Maybe the next day Slippin' down fast down the side of a slope Onto the next stop Slap a high five as I go (five as I go) Sure these nights are long But I keep myself strong Only burning one end of the candle (I sleep all day) Oh, I'm gone, I'm strange I'm a human parade I strain to remember it all And I know what I can handle But I'm toeing the line I'm toeing the line on the border Of what's good and what's insane Toeing the line testing every folded corner of my brain And if I want too much of life My heart will understand That I'm making the most Of this great big grain of sand ‘Couple hundred years and a bottle of Scope We're gonna need a fresh buzz By the time we get to Rome (Wasn't built in a day, you know) Spot a mama-cita by the side of the road You better get on board We're gonna follow which way the wind's blowin' Which way you goin'? You could help me to decide What to keep and What to leave behind Out of all, all this fruitful land And I run so excited all the time Sometimes I fall But the more I look at you The less I need to understand The more I look at you The less I need to understand They tell me there's big mountains Big time out here somewhere This big grain of sand is all I need All I know And all I have This is all I have And we might build ourselves something nice after all Outta this grain of sand Throw the other bags by the side of the road We're moving much too fast And side by side we go (Side a-we-go) Find a $40 room with nothing on the walls We're gonna fill it up nice We're gonna paint it with conversation Of our own creation My, these walls are bare But I can't help but stare At all the fine folks filling up my eyes And I'm so thankful for this time Oh I, I hate to get all misty eyed But I'm toeing the line I'm toeing the line I'm toeing the line On the border of what's good And what's insane Toeing the line Testing every folded corner of my brain And if I want too much of life My heart would understand That I'm making the most Of this great big grain of sand Whoo! I'm toeing the line On the border of what's real and what's insane Toeing the line Reaching out for all the kindness that remains And if I want too much of life My heart would understand I'm making the most of this great big grain Making the most Of this great big ol' grain We're making the most Of this great big grain of sand This grain of sand
