Lyrics:
I had a castle, I had no hassles
Now tears are tassles, you're sure to know it
Just when you blow it, then you can stow it
My life is in storage, my life is in storage
Come take a voyage to personal storage
And we will forage, leashes for my hounds
My tools for my grounds, speakers for my sounds
My life is in storage, my life is in storage
Here are the pictures of permanent fixtures
Now they're just pictures lying in this stack
Baking in this shack of things I can't get back
My life is in storage, my life is in storage
What life has become, stored here for a sum
I hauled it, I feel dumb, got my lock and key
Paid a man his fee, now I wait and see
My life is in storage, my life is in storage
I believe in your perfect face, I believe in your place in the sun
Can we leave now this dusty space? can we have a little fun?
I was standing at the podium and though I was a little drunk
To the darkened auditorium, I delivered my funk
You were standing at the edge of the light, trying not to be too impressed
I was trying for the sake of the night, not to be too depressed
I called you on the telephone from a hotel in Beverly Hills
And though I was scared to the bone, you were giving me thrills
I believe in your perfect face, I believe in your place in the sun
Can we leave now this dusty space? can we have a little fun?
Quotes:
"This is about making the big move from L.A. up to Portland and putting all my stuff in storage and changing my life. I've gone through all these raw moments, which I started to deal with on Show Me Your Tears. I'm living with it now, as opposed to being at the beginning of it, so I'm able to open up more about it on this kind of a song. As far as the arrangement, I sometimes like to take two different songs and smash them together in a Beatles kind of way. This gave Reggie Young an opportunity to kick back and play a nice, long solo at the end."

"'My Life Is In Storage' I wrote in the hotel room in Nashville the night before we recorded it. So it was all very quick"
- Frank on recording Honeycomb - Uncut.
"They never needed instructions on where to end a song; they simply let instincts take over. And, on 'My Life Is in Storage,' they were in such a groove that they kept playing for about two minutes after the lyrics had ended."
