Wasting All Of My Time

Lyrics

Sitting on the porch in my rocking chair
I keep talkin' but nobody's there
Ain't got much to say anyhow
Thinkin' bout the past when she was with me
Instead of living in the here and now

Take a shot of whiskey and chase it with beer
Talkin' to the ghosts cuz nobody's here
It's amazing all the things that they say
I hear stories 'bout history repeatin'
The same ol' mistakes day after day

Bad decisions are all I have
Time and time again
Praying for a saint to save me
But living a life of sin
Spending all my time thinkin' 'bout her
And I'm just wasting all of my time

Truth be told, I've got nothing to do
But waste second chances and I've had a few
But I don't have them anymore
You'd think I would have learned to save them
But I'm not worse off than before

Bad decisions are all I have
Time and time again
Praying for a saint to save me
But living a life of sin
Spending all my time thinking 'bout her
And I'm just wasting all of my time

I'm just wasting all of my time

Ooh...that guitar is sweet! Great performance all around. This has an instant classic feel. Personally, I don't find it easy to distinguish between wasted and well-used time :)

Lovely tone in that guitar! and it rally rolls along so well! some cool bad decision lines in here! aint that the truth how often we repeat mistakes. Nice one

Beautiful guitar work, as always, this one fits perfect with the idea of sitting on the porch picking, which i really loved that opening verse, especially the talking to oneself part and not having much to say, really connected with that line. Also the praying for a saint / living a life of sin, nice.

Love the guitar part. I'm getting a lot of crackling from something.

"Truth be told, I've got nothing to do
But waste second chances and I've had a few"

That's so sad - I've done it myself this week, too.
