i can tell
when it's not going well
you just like riding your bicycle
it helps you forget
the reasons why you moved to the coast
the ones that you miss the most
your family, that hasn't been close
the ones you left behind

some of us got married
went to seminary
or found a job where the people are
and then we're asked to carry
loads that are too heavy for...

and it makes us crazy
it makes me crazy
it makes us crazy
it makes me crazy

nothing's wrong
the power is on
i think i'll take myself a walk somewhere
to help me forget
the reasons that i moved to the coast
the ones that i miss the most
my family that hasn't been close
the ones i left behind

some of us got married
went to seminary
or found a job where the people are
and then we're asked to carry
loads that are too heavy for...

and it makes us crazy
it makes me crazy
it makes us crazy
it makes me crazy

i'll change my mind
and i'll be true
'cause blessings come by the black and blue
i'll rest my head 'cause God is good
i'll rest my head 'cause God is good
