Lynn Miles - Unravel lyrics

I've been livin' out here by the hydro towers Tryin' to feel my feet and regain my powers Livin' on the flight path, tryin' to feel the ground Tryin' to break the chains that hold me to this town I've been watchin' the crows, sittin' on the wires Listenin' to the muscle cars burnin' their tires I thought I'd stick around for a month or so Well I've been here for seven and this is what I know You can read a lot of books, it don't make you smart Kiss a lot of fools, don't mean you got a heart Walk a million miles, don't mean that you traveled You can make a perfect plan, and see it all unravel Well you know who your friends are when you go through trouble They're the ones who come around and pull you from the rubble The phone don't ring as many times a day But when it does, they have somethin' good to say I watch the new mothers push their strollers on my street They're scared and they're happy and they're sad and they're sweet I watched two seasons come and go And this is what I know You can read a lot of books, it don't make you smart Kiss a lot of fools, don't mean you got a heart Walk a million miles, don't mean that you traveled You can make a perfect plan, and see it all unravel Now I'm sittin' in the window and I'm watchin' it rain Thunder and lightenin', love and shame It took me four long years to crawl down to this place It'll take four to get back and it ain't no race Now there's cats on the sidwalk, dogs under trees And the wheels on the pavement buzz like honey bees The laundry's wet and the wind is gonna blow And I don't care 'cause this is what I know You can read a lot of books, it don't make you smart Kiss a lot of fools, don't mean you got a heart Walk a million miles, don't mean that you traveled You can make a perfect plan, and see it all unravel
