"Big Men In The Sky"
(Andrew Marlin)

Well I wake up in the morning, try to set my hook
I used to be a settled boy, never stumbled or shook
But now I've got no hand to hold, no friend to call my own
And I ain't the one to ask much of big men in the sky, but it's all I got

So maybe I'll pick up and go, with no thinking through
Just sleep out every night and try to forget you
I'd look out on some ocean, wash my head in blue
Well I ain't the one to ask much of big men in the sky, but it's all I got

Been a-rocking and a-rolling, reeling in my time
I set myself up fancy-like, and set a brand new line
Well I ought to know by now, it comes and goes, it's true
Well I ain't the one to ask much of big men in the sky, but it's all I got

Well thinking ain't no pastime and thinking ain't no friend
If all you do is sit around and think about the end
Maybe I will get to praying someday before I'm through
But I ain't the one to ask much of big men in the sky, but it's all I got
