I'm clearing my head, of small things from the past
The loves that I lost, and the days that don't last
The time on the job, seemed precious back then
But sitting here now, I don't understand how
It's just a means to an end
CHORUS
I'm just washing my mind, trying to leave this behind
You said my heart's made the turn, but my head it still yearns
To hold on to my pride, keep on fighting for time
But I'll sit here by your side, watch the old grudges fly
I'm just washing my mind
I was so sure of my place
At the top of that heap
But my mountain's just a hill
It's not even that steep
So I'm coming down now
A slow step at a time
To take in the view
Right here beside you
And this sight clears my mind
CHORUS
I'm just washing my mind, trying to leave this behind
You said my heart's made the turn, but my head it still yearns
To hold on to my pride, keep on fighting for time
But I'll sit here by your side, watch the old habits fly
I'm just washing my mind
I guess I made a fair run
With the time I had
You know this cabin I built
Didn't turn out half bad
But, man, letting go
Ain't so easy to do
Thank god for you, girl
And our slice of the world
Cause you're helping me through
CHORUS
I'm just washing my mind, trying to leave this behind
You said my heart's made the turn, but my head it still yearns
To hold on to my pride, keep on fighting for time
But I'll sit here by your side, watch the old)memories fly
I'm just washing my mind
