6000 Thoughts a Day

Verse 1

Wake up wired ‘fore the sun hits the dust

Mind already runnin’, don’t ask me why it must

Coffee don’t touch it, whiskey don’t slow

Every road I take’s got ten more roads to go

Radio talkin’ but I’m talkin’ back

Arguin’ with ghosts in a one-room shack

Every little memory’s a loaded gun

And they all go off ‘fore the day’s begun

Chorus

I got 6000 thoughts a day

Runnin’ wild I can’t outrun ‘em anyway

They keep scratchin’ at the walls inside my brain

Like a freight train ridin’ circles through the pain

Yeah it’s a wonder I ain’t gone insane

Still standin’ in the pourin’ rain

With 6000 thoughts a day… and none of ‘em pray

Verse 2

Tried to outrun it with a midnight drive

But the devil in my head always hitchhikes inside

Every bad decision’s got a second take

And they line up nice just to watch me break

Preacher said “Son, you need peace of mind”

I said “Show me where they sell that kind”

‘Cause silence ain’t somethin’ I’ve ever known

Even God gets drowned when I’m alone

Chorus

I got 6000 thoughts a day

Runnin’ wild I can’t outrun ‘em anyway

They keep scratchin’ at the walls inside my brain

Like a freight train ridin’ circles through the pain

Yeah it’s a wonder I ain’t gone insane

Still standin’ in the pourin’ rain

With 6000 thoughts a day… and none of ‘em pray

Bridge (short, spoken feel)

They say slow it down… breathe it out…

But they ain’t met the crowd I keep upstairs

Ain’t no quiet in a head like this

Final Chorus (lifted)

I got 6000 thoughts a day

And every single one’s got somethin’ left to say

They keep knockin’ like a debt I gotta pay

Ain’t no mercy, ain’t no getaway

Yeah it’s a wonder I ain’t lost my name

Or lit the whole damn world in flame

With 6000 thoughts a day… and I still don’t change
