Rodney Crowell Time To Go Inward Lyrics

It's time to go inward,
take a look at myself
Time to make the most of the
time that I've got left
Prison bars imagined
are no less solid steel

Time to go inward,
would you believe that I'm afraid
To stare down the barrel of the
choices that I've made
The ghost of bad decisions
make mountains
out of everything I feel

Outside my window the wind
weaves a path through the trees
The moon takes a shine to
the shadows that fall on the leaves

It's time to go inward, Hmmm
I don't know if I can do it
after all that I've become
I've been a fool for money but
it's vanity that always leaves me flat

It's time to go inward,
man I hope I have the nerve
To take an inventory of
the causes that I serve
They say a man without a conscience
is like a man without a country,
or something like that

It's time to go inward,
time to be still
If I don't do it now
I don't believe I ever will
My mind is like a chatterbox
whose noise pollutes
the pathways to my soul

Time to go inward,
time to get a grip
Time to put an end
to one long bad acid trip
I'm all out of excuses now
for the way I've let my choices
take a toll

Jesus and Buddah
and Krishna and Minnie Pearl knew
To do unto other
the things you want done unto you

Time to go inward,
take a look at me
Try to make some sense
of life's illusions that I see
Try to solve the riddle of what it is
I have to offer
to this world
