"To Cure What Ails" lyrics - SHAKEY GRAVES

So I tried a new direction
A new mindset
A new state
But running's what it is
Its hard when you're kid
To find your place

I know a gang of clever fellows
We built a fort out in the woods
We cuss and spit at all the girls
Ain't got a care in all the world
Yeah the living is good

But now I'm supposed to grow
Big and tall
Seems like I don't get to wear my bare feet
At all
But when the storm is through
My feet know what to do
All roads lead to you

I think I've grown a little thinner
With out you riding my coat tails
I would trade it all again for a nice
Stroll in your skin
Just to cure what ails

And I can see a palm tree from my chair
So I don't really feel like going anywhere
But even if I do, it's really of no use
'Cause all roads lead to you

If I always try to please her
I'm never getting any sleep
Love seems easier when it comes
But the coming's just the first part
Of having to leave

So maybe I'll die a happy minstrel
Or just a shadow of my former self
I'd undo what I have done
But lamenting's much more fun
Guilt is bad for your health

But now I'm supposed to grow
Big and tall
Seems like I don't get to wear my bare feet at all
But when the day is through
There's nothing left to do
Baby, all roads lead to you

Yeah baby when my life is through
I know just what to do
Because all roads lead to you
