Something's Gotta Give
Christian Kane Lyrics

Faded dreams and blue jeans
The singer's aspirations are not as bright as they once were, and they are in a place of simple, everyday living.

A Rangers cap with sweat rings
The singer wears a cap that shows signs of hard work and effort, which is a badge of honor.

There's a hole in the sole of my favorite boots
The singer has been through many trials and tough times, and there are signs of wear on their most cherished possessions.

Well I've been at it a long time
The artist has been working hard and striving for a better life for quite some time.

Working on that bottom line
The artist is focused on building financial security and success, even if it means sacrificing other aspects of life.

And every shirt I've worn, The collar's been blue.
The singer has had to work a lot of manual labor jobs in order to get by, and it shows in their clothes.

One of these days I'm gonna jump right off that shelf, And hit the ground runnin'
The singer is ready to take action and pursue their dreams with everything they have.

At least that's what I keep telling myself.
Despite doubts and fears, the artist is affirming their belief in their ability to make a change.

I've been sittin' on the fence for way too long
The artist has been indecisive and hesitant for far too many years.

Warming that bench as chance moves on
The artist has been stagnant and missed opportunities while waiting for something to come to them.

And believe me, that ain't no way to live.
The singer has come to the realization that living passively and without taking chances is not fulfilling or successful.

And this barely gettin' by is really gettin' old
The artist is tired of struggling to get by and wants something more meaningful and substantial to show for their efforts.

And it's hard to turn a wrench on a rusty bolt
The challenges and obstacles of life can be difficult to overcome, but the singer is still willing to try.

But someday something's gotta give.
The singer is hopeful that someday their hard work and efforts will pay off and they will achieve success.

Busted hands and broken land, And black gold turned to sand
The singer has had to work hard with their hands in order to eke out a living in a land that has been depleted and is no longer profitable.

And the whiskey's the only well that's running deep
The artist relies on alcohol to ease their stress and frustrations, as it is their only source of solace in a difficult life.

Yeah the dust devils dancin' on the mesa again, At the mercy of that west Texas wind
The artist is at the mercy of the harsh and unpredictable climate of their home in west Texas, which can be both beautiful and unforgiving.

And the tumbleweeds, they seem to know more than me.
The singer feels lost and uncertain about their future, while the empty tumbleweeds seem to have a greater sense of direction and purpose.

Oh they always find their way right out of town, They never turn back, They keep on rolling and they don't slow down.
The singer admires the freedom and resilience of the tumbleweeds, who never let anything stop them and always keep moving forward.
