a head full of answers

deer scamper by
in the early morning light
makes me wonder
what they’ve been doing all night
i’ve been tossin’ and turnin’
and now i’m on the road
with a head full of answers
but the questions i don’t know

sun’s still under
the horizon way out east
i haven’t had my coffee
but my anxiety’s increased
the map gives directions
it tells me how to go
i’ve got a head full of answers
but the questions i don’t know

i’ve been told there is a reason
that someday i will know
and i can be certain
i’ll be cared for as i go
that it’s easy to tell
the authentique from the faux
i’ve got a head full of answers
but the questions i don’t know

the day’s gonna come
with my permission or without
can’t change it with my faith
can’t change it with my doubt
i’m a piece of billion year-old carbon
that somehow made the show
with a head full of answers
but the questions i don’t know

guess i’ll keep on moving
i know where i am bound
unless some bolt of lightning
should strike me to the ground
and i cry out to st. anne
and my cover gets blown
this head full of answers
and all the questions i don’t know
