Down For the Count                         

Walt Sample

Feel like a dead calm wind chime 

Love’s wind only blew by one time 

Eyes in the mud not in the stars 

Passed up my queen of hearts 

I got a

Nose like an eagle eyes like a hound

I’m kissin’ canvas I’m down for the count

Ashtray full of orange peels

What if’s snappin’ at my heels

Trailin’ life’s invisible dream

Like a fifty year old James Dean

I got a

Nose like an eagle eyes like a hound

I’m kissin’ canvas I’m down for the count

Arguing with my echo

Boxing with my shadow

Marching in yesterday’s parade

I let my future sneak away

I got a

Nose like an eagle eyes like a hound

I’m kissin’ canvas I’m down for the count
