[Intro]
Let me on up
Let me on up

[Verse 1]
I walk with a stone in my shoe
And a load on my back
Packed with things that I just can't lose
And my clock, it never keeps the right time
It's got a permanent hitch
It keeps me wrapped up tight

[Chorus]
If this is gonna get me tied up in knots
How am I gonna be when somethin' big comes along?
I kept my ear is so close to the ground
Now, let me on up
So I can feel the sun throwin' all its heat over me, yeah
Let me on up

[Verse 2]
I need to step on the brakes
Hang up that phone
There's a light sneakin' through the blinds
Keep me hangin' on
Bring me back home
'Cause I been gone too long
Just like a hurricane with no town to claim
I'm just a-ramblin on
[Chorus]
Now, if this is gonna get me tied up in knots
How am I gonna be when somethin' big comes along?
I kept my ear is so close to the ground
Now, let me on up
So I can feel the sun throwin' all its heat over me
Let me on up

[Bridge]
I've done some stupid things in my time
And they're catchin' up on me tonight
Come on through, I won't put up a fight
I wait like a fox starin' at the headlights

[Chorus]
Now, if this is gonna get me tied up in knots
How am I gonna be when somethin' big comes along?
I kept my ear is so close to the ground
Now, let me on up
So I can feel the sun throwin' all its heat over me, yeah

[Outro]
Let me on up
Let me on up
I need to step on the grate, now
Let me on up
Let me on up
I'm just a-ramblin' on, on, on
Let me on up
Let me on up
