Rodney Crowell - Time To Go Inward lyrics

It's time to go inward take a look at myself

Time to make the most of the time that I've got left

Prison bars imagined are no less solid steel

Time to go inward would you believe that I'm afraid

To stare down the barrel of the choices I have made

The ghost of bad decisions make mountains out of everything I feel

Outside my window the wind weaves a path through the trees

The moon takes a shine to the shadows that fall on the leaves

It's time to go inward Hmmm

I don't know if I can do it after all that I've become

I've been a fool for money but it's vanity that always leaves me flat

It's time to go inward man I hope I have the nerve

To take an inventory of the causes that I serve

They say a man without a conscience is like a man without a country

or something like that

It's time to go inward time to be still

If I don't do it now I don't believe I ever will

My mind is like a chatterbox whose noise pollutes the pathways

to my soul

Time to go inward time to get a grip

Time to put an end to one long bad acid trip

I'm all out of excuses for the way I've let my choices take a toll

Jesus and Buddah and Krishna and Minnie Pearl knew

Do unto other the things you want done unto you

Time to go inward take a look at me

Try to make some sense of life's illusions that I see

Try to solve the riddle of what it is I have to offer to this world
