I's standin' in the mornin' rain outside that Norfolk Southern Yard
Rollin' dice like a train, the wind was blowin' hard

I'm down 20 to the devil, hell I hope he'll take a check
I'll kiss his a__ 'til I get level, then I'll break his neck

I have drank from the cup of your soul like there ain't no tomorrow

I was cursed from the first with a thirst for the sweet wine of sorrow

Ah there's things a man can do to himself where his own parents don't recognize his face

And there's things he does to everybody else that even true love can't erase

And you wind up scattered all in pieces and you spend your life tryin' to understand

When you figure it out you realize it's your selfishness between you and the promised land

I have drank from the cup of your soul like there ain't no tomorrow
I been cursed from the first with a thirst for that sweet wine of sorrow
Hallelujah I'd trade anything I can beg steal or borrow
I was cursed from the first with a thirst for that sweet wine of sorrow

Now I'm shattered on the sidewalk like them dishes that they brought

When you were swollen with my baby and your daddy bought that shotgun when we got caught

And now there ain't much that matters and to tell the truth I still don't understand
So I think I'll go down to Madame Moreass and just pretend you ever gave a d___

I have drank from the cup of your soul like there ain't no tomorrow

I been cursed from the first with a thirst for that sweet wine of sorrow

Hallelujah I'd trade anything I can beg steal or borrow

I was cursed from the first with a thirst for that sweet wine of sorrow

Baby I's cursed from the first with a thirst for that sweet wine of sorrow
