INDIGO GIRLS
"Spread The Pain Around"

She packs her bags to leave every day
And you just wait for it to pass
You hear that patience makes a better man
So you just wait to understand

'Cause you don't want to write that song
Where you done her wrong
And she can't take you back
The one where she just can't forgive
And you can't live without her

What you gonna do with your idle hands
What you gonna do with your idle mind
What you gonna do with a keg of wine
Spread the pain around

Sometimes late at night out in your yard
You count your faults
Just like the stars
You know it all adds up but you don't know
What to change
What to own

'Cause you don't want to write that song
Where you done her wrong
And she can't take you back
The one where she just can't forgive
And you can't live without her

What you gonna do with your idle hands
What you gonna do with your idle mind
What you gonna do with a keg of wine
Spread the pain around

What you gonna do now that company's coming
What you gonna do to keep it humming
Spread the pain around
Spread the pain around

What you gonna do when she packs her bags to leave?
Every day now
You just wait
For it to pass
