I Say too much

no more than words, no less than air
cashed in early here
and got the market share
pounding out a message
with too much to say
I gotta get a grip
on the ones that got away

I stumble and I falter,
fumble and grasp
but I wind up coming across
just like a braying ass
words are just a bargain
to give you some ground
but sometimes
they don’t make a sound

I say too much
words that right, words that wrong
words that lift those limping along
I say too much

I pray to God
when worse comes to worse
these blessings
won’t turn into a deep, dark curse
out in the yard planting words to the wise
I’m scratched and bruised
from pulling up lies

I say too much
words can say, words can do
but sometimes
words make you look like a fool
I say too much

hold my tongue, I bit my lip
mind my words before I trip
did I say too much?
did I say too much?

I say too much
words that right, words that wrong
words that lift those limping along
I say too much
I say too much
