It's all a ride of thick and thin, There ain't no need to throw it in, Your salad days will surely come again. You've been on the down slide, But only in your troubled mind, To me and everyone you are the man. Don't wreck your painting when the brush runs dry, You're a whole lot better than your God damn pride. The good times, remember them, It might have seemed much better then, There's no point living in once upon a time. The wine will flow, the song will sing, And blow the cloud off everything, Your sun is coming up around the bend. Don't wreck your painting when the brush runs dry, You're a whole lot better than your God damn pride. I know you're bleedin', It's a shit fight life, But you're a whole lot better than your God damn pride, You've been living and dying in a false disguise, So take the weight of the world out on a six string. It's all a ruse, you know I'm right, There ain't no grace in suicide, I'll break your jaw if you say that again. Been hangin' out my whole life to meet someone I idolized, Now you just shot it down, but that's alright. Don't wreck your painting when the brush runs dry, You're a whole lot better than your God damn pride. I know you're bleedin', it's a shit fight life, But you're a whole lot better than your God damn pride, You've been living and dying in a false disguise, So take the weight of the world out on a six string.
