Cotton mouth in another town
I drank the river dry
Travelin' with a broken crown
A demon passing by
I watched the blackbirds taking flight
Ashes in the wind
They dissapeared into the night
And I felt my spirit bend
I'd scream right up to Heaven if I thought it'd do me good
I'd wash my hands of sin if I really thought I could
I'd speak my mind right now if I had half the mind give
I'd lay right down and die if I had ever really lived
I went and killed a man today
I watched him dissapear
A broken hand sent him away
He was standing in the mirror
I was born a wicked man
Broken from the start
Am I made of rusty tin?
Did the Lord forget my heart?
I'd scream right up to Heaven if I thought it'd do me good
I'd wash my hands of sin if I really thought I could
I'd speak my mind right now if I had half the mind to give
I'd lay right down and die if I had ever really lived
♪
The straight and narrow's twisted
But the fact, it still remains
That line I walk is crooked
But I walk it just the same
I'd try to part your waters
If I didn't think I'd drown
I'd finally take a stand
If I wasn't lying down
I'd scream right up to Heaven if I thought it'd do me good
I'd wash my hands of sin if I really thought I could
I'd speak my mind right now if I had half the mind to give
I'd lay right down and die if I had ever really lived
