Supply and Demand

on Supply And Demand (2006), Amos Lee: Live from the Artists Den (2013)

Somethin gotta give with the way Im livin
Seems Im gettin down everyday
The more I strive, the less Im alive
And it seems I'm gettin further away

Oh well, all my superstitions
And my crazy suspicions
Of the people that I care about

I've been doin more screamin
Than I've been doin dreamin
And I think its time I figured it out

Yeah, baby I need a plan, oh, to understand
That life aint only supply and demand

I've been goin joggin in the park after dark
Draggin round with me my ball and chain
Took southern skies to make me realize
That Im causin myself this pain

Well, the woman that Im lovin
Yeah, Im pushin and shovin
Getting further on by the day

And I cant understand
How the heart of this man
Ever let it end up this way

Baby, I need a plan, oh, to understand
That life aint only supply and demand

When the road gets dark and lonesome, dear
You can find me here
But honey, you dont know where I am
You need a friend, yeah

Life aint easy, in fact I know its sleazy
When youre the big man in town
Shakin religions and makin decisions
You never get to slow on down

Well, your wife and your baby
You tell them, Yeah, well maybe
Ill meet yall at a weekend resort

But your eye's on the prize
And you cant realize
That your little girls lifes so short

Brother, you need a plan, oh, to understand
That life aint only supply and demand

Yeah, sister you need a plan, oh, to understand
That life aint only supply and demand

Hey, you better figure it out now
You know you aint comin back down, yeah
You better figure it out now
You know you aint comin back down
