lyrics

riddle me this

I was born in a iowa hut
In the ice cold belly of the winter
My daddy scrapin ice off the inside of the walls
With a bent old windshield wiper

Life is a riddle
With a clue in the middle
And a hint or two right down the line
And you don’t want to miss
The final plot twist
It’s guaranteed to blow your mind

Every year it was another new town
The last one fadin’ in the tailight
I learned to read from a sears catalog
Under the covers with a battery flashlight

Life is a riddle
With a clue in the middle
And a hint or two right down the line
And you don’t want to miss
The final plot twist
It’s guaranteed to blow your mind

I was growin’ up strong, and I was feelin’ my song
and I was tryin’ hard to grow up faster
I got in my first band, and I tried to make my stand
With a beat up old Telecaster

Life is a riddle
With a clue in the middle
And a hint or two right down the line
And you don’t want to miss
The final plot twist
It’s guaranteed to blow your mind

i been down, so many long roads
A million stickers stuck in my scrapbook
A million tales from a million miles
All scribbled in my moleskine notebook

Life is a riddle
With a clue in the middle
And a hint or two right down the line
And you don’t want to miss
The final plot twist
It’s guaranteed to blow your mind
