Chasing Focus Down a Dirt Road

I packed my lunch in a toolbox, labeled every screw

Told the boss I'd be productive, then forgot what I should do

My horse ate half a meeting, notes my dog signed off the rest

Now the county says I'm famous for my highly organized mess

I made a plan on Monday

It wandered off by noon

But somehow all the wrong turns

Still got me home too soon

I'm chasing focus down a dirt road

With a stopwatch in my hand

The cows keep changing, needing time

But they still don't understand

I've got a heart full of horsepower

And a brain that takes its time

If concentration was a country song

This funny wreck would rhyme

I set three alarms for sunrise

Slept through every one

Woke up wearing one work boot

And somebody else's hat for fun

The radio played a track of red-eyed sands

I sang a harmony

Then spilled coffee on my map

And called it modern cartography

Slow down, speed up, hold steady

That's what the dashboard said

I pressed the button marked already

And accidentally fed the shed

I'm chasing focus down a dirt road

With a stopwatch in my hand

The cows keep changing meeting times

But they still don't understand

I got a heart full of horsepower

And a brain that takes time

If concentration was a country song

This funny redwood rhyme

Tomorrow I'll be ready

I wrote it on my sleeve

The sleeve went through the washing machine

So now I just believe

Thank you for watching!
