I was sittin’ on the back porch
The day was about to start
Sun was coming up, hittin’ on the treetops
You were tuggin’ on to my heart

Give me something for my time
I’m looking for some peace of mind
You can make me crazy – you are so unkind
You are a mountain I can’t climb

No sense made of what I do or say
I put myself out on a limb
I smoked a cigarette, finished my coffee thinkin’
“try to begin again”

I went inside where it was cool and dry
I saw you called me on the phone
But you left no message, left no text
Y’know, you wouldn’t even toss me a bone

Give me something for my time
I’m looking for some peace of mind
You can make me crazy – you are so unkind
You are a mountain I can’t climb

I remembered how we parted
You put your doughnut in my tea
You walked away from the table that day
And you shouted back at me

You said,
Give me something for my time
I’m looking for some peace of mind
You can make me crazy – you are so unkind
You are a mountain I can’t climb

I remembered how we parted
You put your doughnut in my tea
You walked away from the table that day
And you shouted back at me

You said,
Give me something for my time
I’m looking for some peace of mind
You can make me crazy – you are so unkind
You are a mountain I can’t climb
