[Chorus]
So [Intro]

[Verse 1]
Had a pocket of gold, a handful of dust
I’ve built a few empires, watched ‘em all rust
Been the name on the ticket, the shout in the hall
The one they all cheered for, and they prayed would fall
I’ve slept on the silk , I’ve slept on the stones
been the king of the mountain, a rattle in the bones
I’ve carried the heavy, carried the light
But I’m tired of the winning, tired of the fight.

[Verse 2]
Got a thousand tales of the loves I’ve lost
Ledger in my head of what the winning has cost
Been celebrated, mourned, and hated by turns
Sitting in the middle of the bridges I burned

[Bridge]
They told me boring was a slow kind of death
But I’m drawing a full, easy breath
I’ve won every prize and fought every war
Only to find that I don’t want the score
Just let me be still, God, oh can I just rest
I'm tired and scared, I'll make another mess

Give me the rows in the garden, the oil on the drive
The simple tmachinery of staying alive
Done with the trophies and the weight of the fame
I just need the healing of the ordinary frame
Slow-moving Sunday and kettle on the heat
Dust of the driveway underneath my feet
