Sand in Your Teeth

from Forage & Glean, Volumes I & II by Mike Spine

about

US "Labor Day" weekend traveling. From Florida to New York City.

lyrics

Swallow it down with sand in your teeth
Ride the red line or slough off the queen
Tensions ride high at the ticket counter
As labor day plans bend and falter
The children laugh and play with a ball
Piano Man sings a song that I know
This song takes me back a number of years
Riding the ford up to Bellingham
Riding the ford up to Bellingham
Riding the ford up to Bellingham

Temper flare as plans are delayed
The fabric of life frizzles and frays
Throw a big tantrum or ride out the waves
Talking out loud the drama gets old
Testing my patience incompotence reigns
Blow it all off cuz it's out of my hands
One must stay focused on the enemy
Labor's the front lines but don't pull the strings
Labor's the front lines but don't pull the strings
Labor's the front lines but don't pull the strings

The clock is ticking our lives away
So do what you can with the cards in your hands
Try not to let them mess with your head
Fight for the living and pray for the dead
Fight for the living and pray for the dead
Fight for the living and pray for the dead
