It's been an Indian summer And I just lost another I've been thinking about my mother As the plane touched down I feel lost and found Coming home Daylight's gonna come Sing your life life unsung Lately I've been thinking about you We hung out in the kitchen We did a lot of wishing And dying for a living If it all goes south with your whiskey mouth On the run Daylight's gonna come Sing your life life unsung Lately I've been thinking about you Further than my father Life for him was harder There's millionaires and martyrs We can tell bad jokes And become our folks In the end Daylight's gonna come Sing your life life unsung Lately I've been thinking about you Baby on the run Oh I hope you're having fun Lately I've been thinking Over mountains over money over time All the glitter in the gutter you can find
