Lyrics Spread the Pain Around - Indigo Girls

She packs her bags to leave everyday
And you just wait for it to pass
You hear that patience makes a better man
So you just wait to understand

Cause you don't wanna write that song
Where you done her wrong and she can't take you back
The one where she just can't forgive
And you can't live without her

What you gonna do with your idle hands?
What you gonna do with your idle mind?
What you gonna do with a keg of wine?
Spread the pain around

Sometimes late at night out in your yard
You count your faults just like the stars
You know it all adds up but you don't know
What to change and what to own

'Cause you don't want to write that song
Where you done her wrong and she can't take you back
The one where she just can't forgive
And you can't live without her

What you gonna do with you idle hands?
What you gonna do with your idle mind?
What you gonna do with the keg of wine?
Spread the pain around

What you gonna do now that company's coming?
What you gonna do to keep it humming?
Spread the pain around
Spread the pain around

What you gonna do when she packs her bags to leave?
Every day now you just wait for it to pass
