Whatever I drag out of that river
I believe it’s a good day’s work
The only words I’ve said today are "yes ma’am" and "yes sir"
But I believe I was cut from a different kind of stone
And the troubles I make are my own
My heart is not weary
My throat is not dry
I’d walk to the end of the world just to wave goodbye
To these dreams that have passed before my eyes
Whatever I pull out of that dirt
I believe it was there all the time
And if I don’t find it today
I’ll leave it for someone else to find
But the days go fast
And I try to be true
And maybe that’s all that any of us can do
