Due Time Lyrics by Sam Barber

Days are hard, and I’ve added a couple scars
But I swear that I’ll be home in due time
‘Cause I’m away for work when I should be holding her
But I guess I’s built to stubborn for this life

I can see her in the yard screaming, “Damn that old guitar
If you want me, boy, you’d better get here fast”
But the more that I skip town, the more that I find out
This body of mine wasn’t made to last

If I was there, I’d let you know that the love I got is whole
And it’s all right here if you just take my hand
Then we dance through the lawn, drinking whiskey till we fall
But clearly God, He had different plans

‘Cause I’m too drunk for you and I’m too strung out for me
So I guess now I’m my own worst enemy
From the body that I bleed to the bar smoke air I breathe
Well, I promise you I’ll be back in due time

Torn and withdrawn, every thought I have feels wrong
Where do I go when I cannot find faith?
I’m all out of dreams and I ain’t heard you speak in weeks
Well, I need you now more than I need me
Just like the boards beneath my feet held by trust do shift and creak
Well, I’ve lost my time, and days have made me weak

‘Cause I’m too drunk for you and I’m too strung out for me
So I guess now I’m my own worst enemy
From the body that I bleed to the bar smoke air I breathe
I promise you I’ll be back in due time
One, two, three, four

‘Cause I’m too drunk for you and I’m too strung out for me
So I guess now I’m my own worst enemy
From the body that I bleed to the bar smoke air I breathe
Well, I promise you I’ll be back in due time
