Bag of Bones

Lyrics

[Verse 1] This is how my tale begins I was outside looking in again Nothing like rain to wash you clean So I slept in the cold and left unseen I'd never seen a sky that pale at night Should have known it wasn't right Wandered out there on my own Just a rattlin' bag of bones [Chorus] I can see you're doing just fine without me What did you say when you left? I believed you'd never get far without me How wrong I was in the end [Verse 2] Thus, my tale of woe continues It was me they got but it should have been you You were the only one I trusted But you left town and I got busted Let me see you one last time You can kiss my worthless ass goodbye I doubt that it's been nice to know me Bon voyage, you'd best be going [Chorus] I agree, there's something not right about me I thought the darkness would pass I believed you'd never get far without me Life is a joke if you laugh [Verse 3] This is how my story ends I'm stoned and broke and drunk again No one laughs in nothing's face I'm just floating on through my aimless days Been a long road, but I'll be alright I'm living on the countryside I'll be out there on my own Just a rattlin' bag of bones [Refrain] I'll be out there on my own Just a rattlin' bag of bones I'll be out there on my own Just a rattlin' bag of bones [Verse 4] People die and planets turn And empires rise and fall and burn Nothing lasts and no one stays You just spiral off into outer space Never seen a sky so full of stars Makes me wonder where you are I'll be out here on my own Just a rattlin' bag of bones [Outro] I'll be out there on my own Just a rattlin' bag of bones I'll be out there on my own Just a rattlin' bag of bones
