Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I raced around a setting sun
I found out how the West was won
Manifested destiny
With liquor and festivities
Against my better nature
I went hog-wild, wasting paper
I was madder than Don Draper
Suckin' in that Holy vapor
[Chorus]
My beard won't warm me in the cold
It just betrays my age as the years unfold
When I was younger I had clever lines
That now reside beside my eyes
I hid my heart high on a shelf
I managed to outsmart myself
[Verse 2]
It took you no time at all
To take all my time
With your summer dress
And your hungry eyes
I focused in
With undivided attention
Oh, and not to mention
You never said you needed me
I never promised anything
Somehow we just came to be
You and me
[Chorus]
My beard won't warm me in the cold
It just betrays my age as the years unfold
When I was younger I had clever lines
That now reside beside my eyes
I hid my heart high on a shelf
I managed to outsmart myself
[Verse 3]
Come over now
You can bring your bottle
You navigate, I'll take the throttle
I was you not long ago
You couldn't tell me nothing, no
I never bring a soul to water
That didn't ask me for a bath
Each time I look into your eyes
I see my old familiar lies
[Chorus]
My beard won't warm me in the cold
It just betrays my age as the years unfold
When I was younger I had clever lines
That now reside beside my eyes
I hid my heart high on a shelf
I managed to outsmart myself
