Icarus

Lukas Autry Nelson

I run just to catch my tail
I fly just to see my feet
And I hide just to see who's lookin'
And I smile every time I brush my teeth

My mama said, everybody thinks they're wiser than Icarus
Flirting with the big old sun, go and find someone
Why don't you settle down, baby?
Yeah, you had your fun

My mama said she wants grand-babies
My daddy said he wouldn't mind a few grandchildren too
But I just lost my baby
'Cause I'm too hard livin', I've got too much to do

My mama said, everybody thinks they're wiser than Icarus
Flirting with the big old sun, go and find someone
Why don't you settle down, baby?
Yeah, you had your fun

Grab the bull by the horns, sheer them sheep
Milk those heifers baby, teat by teat
A little hard work never did no wrong
But who you gonna love when the evenin' comes?

And I run just to catch my tail
And I fly just to see my feet
And I hide just to see who's lookin'
And I smile every time I brush my teeth

My mama said, everybody thinks they're wiser than Icarus
Flirting with the big old sun, go and find someone
Why don't you settle down, baby?
Yeah, you had your fun

Everybody thinks they're wiser than Icarus
Flirting with the big old sun, go and find someone
Why don't you settle down, baby?
Yeah, you had your fun
