Lyrics

I thought it was a new day I turned my sins against themselves We were sleeping in the sheets, babe I woke up in the air above my couch I guess I lost my redheaded blues Swapped them for a thousand pair of shoes And the reflection in the barring eye That screams for all the luck I'll never lose I'm tying on a beery drunk You're leaving me the fire in your eyes To be a ship that's already sunk And never really stood the test of time My lines been flanked, it seems I've flunked I've tangled with the captain, walked the plank And I sunk I'm from a river home I'm from a tower made of bones I'm from the skyline of a great big town Life in time will count your friends I've seen 'em fall to slow sad ends So I'm thinkin' all the words you've thunk And I'm tyin' on a beery drunk
