Been shot up and pushed around
beat black and blue left on the ground
like that stupid dog I'll be back for more
I'm my own worst enemy
hamstrung by my loyalty
doing good don't always make it right
I'll be up there some day
until then I'm down here drinking my youth away
Ain't no one got no sympathy
for alcohol fuelled tragedy
I made my bed and I'll sleep tonight
I'll set fire to ghosts today
watch them all float away
back into the nothing they came from
I'll be up there some day
until then I'm down here drinking my youth away
Don't know why I sing the blues
I got more than most folks do...

Look at my hands trace back where I've been
don't want to make the mistakes that he did
it may be a house but it sure ain't a home
when I think of this place and imagine you gone
I'll tear down the wall if theres any chance at all
to make together for good
I'll scream down the sun to keep the high that I'm on
Let me love her like I should
Give me an answer a single idea
how i got myself to be here
baited breath silent tongue empty ears
fall at your feet and I'm yours for all years
I'll tear down the wall if theres any chance at all
to make together for good
I'll scream down the sun to keep the high that I'm on
Let me love her like I should
Stare at my hands trace back where I've been
you've been through it all the thick and the thin
the broken the Jesus and gin
be by your side til the grind takes me in
I'll tear down the wall if theres any chance at all
to make together for good
I'll scream down the sun to keep the high that I'm on
Let me love her like I should
