So I wonder to myself where does the present start
Empty pocket, empty wallet, & an empty heart
Looking backwards is easier these days
Than lookin' on
Take a wander through the city where my mom was born
Buy a coffee, buy a donut, smell the coming storm
Read the headline then toss the paper away
I got these night sweats
Night sweats
I got these night sweats
Night sweats
There's the president parading on the CNN
Little red hands wipe his forehead every now and then
Does he kneel and say a prayer each night?
Does he have night sweats?
Night sweats
Night sweats
Night sweats
Well it comes to me in the middle of my sleep
And all I want is something I can keep
Like night sweats
Night sweats
Night sweats
Night sweats
