Pie in the sky

(Billy Bob Thornton/JD Andrew)

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna come up with a new plan fairly soon
Lately at night I've been talkin' it over with the man in the moon
I've got this crazy feelin' that my ship will come in
Maybe fate will finally flip this old loser a win

I keep throwin' wishes
In a well that's almost dry
I'm keepin' body and soul together
Eatin' pie in the sky

Sometimes I fear that these daydreams are a sick and desperate call
But if I keep throwin' out ideas some may stick to the wall
The beauty of the rainbow may be that you never see the end
The road can't really promise that we'll ever round the bend

I'm crawlin' up a mountain
Pretendin' I can fly
I'm keepin' body and soul together
Eatin' pie in the sky

I keep throwin' wishes
In a well that's almost dry
I'm keepin' body and soul together
Eatin' pie in the sky
