on the bridges side that faces towards the jail
Am G F
setting out to join a demographic ,
C F C
he hoists his first leg up over the rail .

and a phone call is made ,
police cars show up quickly .
the sergeant slams his passenger door .
he says , hey son why dont you talk through this with me ,
just tell me what youre doing it for .

Am C
oh , its a little bit of everything ,
Am
its the mountains ,
Em/G
its the fog ,
Am C
its the news at six oclock ,
G
its the death of my first dog ,
C F
its the angels up above me ,
C Am
its the song that they dont sing ,
Em/G G C
its a little bit of everything .

an older man stands in a buffet line ,
he is smiling and holding out his plate ,
and the further he looks back into his timeline ,
that hard road always had led him to today ,
and making up for when his bright future had left him ,
making up for the fact that his only son is gone ,
and letting everything out once , his server asks him ,
have you figured out yet , what it is you want?

i want a little bit of everything ,
the biscuits and the beans ,
whatever helps me to forget about
the things that brought me to my knees ,
so pile on those mashed potatoes ,
and an extra chicken wing ,
im having a little bit of everything .

somewhere a pretty girl is writing invitations ,
to a wedding she has scheduled for the fall ,
her man says , baby , can i make an observation?
you dont seem to be having any fun at all .
she said , you just worry about your groomsmen and your shirt – size ,
and rest assured that this is making me feel good ,
i think that love is so much easier than you realize ,
if you can give yourself to someone ,
then you should .

cause its a little bit of everything ,
the way you choke , the way you ache ,
it is waking up before you ,
so i can watch you as you wake .
so in the day in late september ,
its not some stupid little ring ,
im giving a little bit of everything .

oh , its a little bit of everything ,
its the matador and the bull ,
its the suggested daily dosage ,
it is the red moon when its full .
all these psychics and these doctors ,
theyre all right and theyre all wrong ,
its like trying to make out every word ,
when they should simply hum along ,
its not some message written in the dark ,
or some truth that no ones seen ,
its a little bit of everything .
