Wrote this in about fifteen minutes. The melody is reminiscent of an old traditional folk tune.

Awake As Hell

When I get tired of walking
And my feet feel like their busting through my shoes
I lay down my head
Upon my lumpy bed
It’s one in the morning and I’m awake as hell

When I get tired of talking
And my throat feels like it’s drier than the sun
My head falls down real slow
On my old pillow
It’s two in the morning and I’m awake as hell

When I get tired of thinking
And my head is pounding louder than a drum
I take a pill or two
That’s what I usually do
It’s three in the morning and I’m awake as hell

When I get tired of people
And their voices make me dream of heading home
There’s no one that I can meet
Between my worn warm sheets
It’s four in the morning and I’m awake as hell
