I'm a man of few words but a few is enough A man don't have to talk, He just gets up and walks when the going gets rough I've got feelings down deep, still you think you don't care Well I've made up my mind, Goin' to leave you behind and start living out there So paint me on velvet, and do not disguise The bright silver teardrops, that you've brought to these eyes Hang me out by the roadside, for the whole world to see Jesus and Elvis, the Confederate flag and Willie and me Ran away to a motel, but before I checked in Met a bouncer named Steve, and decided to leave For a gathering of men, with our drums in our hands And our hearts on our sleeves, we stood around in the rain Just sharing our pain, and learning to grieve So paint me on velvet, and do not disguise The bright silver teardrops, that you've brought to these eyes Hang me out by the roadside, for the whole world to see Jesus and Elvis, some dogs playing poker, and Willie and me Yeah, Jesus and Elvis, the dogs playing poker, and Willie and me
