Tall Heights

I never practiced piano when I was a boy And I still ain't working to perfect guitar I never read my lesson books like others did The way they looked in study halls while I mapped out the stars Sometimes I forget to do the things that others do Take it as it's handed like a hopeful kid in June So sometimes I retracted to the howling wind and moon But I learned out there, I learned a thing or two I only know the bills I owe when overdue And I swear the lost and found has my estate When uncle Sam asked "Where's my plate?" I said "Come in", he said "I'll wait" I ran away, I always run away Sometimes I forget to do the things that others do Take it as it's handed like some bourbon on the room Sometimes I'll be up and drunk my problems on a few But I'll learn out there, I'll learn a thing or two I knew when you were comin', oh, I learned your name And I tried to make it all seem by mistake I didn't know the lengths I'd go what I'd devote in every note I found a hill and built a cityscape So while sometimes I forget to do the things that lovers do Take it all for granted like a night I'm sleeping through So sometimes I'll awaken from a dream cold and confused But I'll learn again to fall in love with you Sometimes I forget to do the things that lovers do I'll learn again to fall in love with you 'Cause I learned, I did, I learned a thing or two
