Driven to silence, but I'm drowning in sin
My mandolin hangs on the wall once again
I can't seem to find the right words from within,
But I won't be looking for long

There comes a time when nothing seems clear
Your past out on the front porch with a head full of beer,
Confused and clouded by thoughts of you dear
But I won't be thinking for long

So many years ago when I was pure,
I was drunk on direction but afflicted with a cure
For all ailments cynical, that's how things were
But I didn't stay drunk for too long

Notions and knowledge came and sobered me up
I sipped from their bottle; I slammed a whole cup
That swill seemed to sit well, but I should've thrown it up
Cause it didn't sit well for too long

I was a fool
I was stupid because
I was mistaking knowledge for just a good buzz
Five years drunk on wine and words and wit
Served by cynics and charlatans
They were all full of s___

Empty cans of frustration and cans of regret
Line the living room floor that you've often swept
Pop another one open and wretch at the stench
It's a hard drink to swallow for a thirst you can't quench

But there'll come a time when it all seems clear
When you're passed out on the front porch, your head full of beer
Confused and clouded by thoughts of you dear,
But I won't be clouded for long

Now I'm driven to silence, and I'm drowning in sin
My mandolin hangs on the wall once again
I can't seem to find the right words from within,
But I won't be looking for long

I'll stink of drink 'til I let you in,
Then I won't be stinking for long

Go To Top

I'LL BE d___ED

Well I've seen you hanging around for awhile,
And I wish that you'd just go away
Cause I've been stuck in this old town for awhile,
And this town has seen it's better days

And I'll be d___ed if I'll let you
Be a part of some new start
And make me lose my will to leave this place
And I'll be d___ed if I'll let you
Take my heart and tear it apart
And make me watch the tears fall from your face

You can find me here each night, and I'll be drinking
I'm trying to lose these blues and these woes
Then you'll find me in the morning, and I'll be thinking,
Where did all of my money go?

But I'll be d___ed if I'll let you
Pick me up and brush me off
And give myself a reason to live
And I'll be d___ed if I'll let you Take me in and be my friend
And give me something all my money can't give

Guess I finally got my wish
You've gone away
I guess I've proven that I am a man
But I know that I'll just go to s___ in all my days
And to this town will be d___ed; I'll be d___ed

I'll be d___ed if I didn't let you
Be a part of some new start
And make me lose my will to leave this place
And I'll be d___ed if I didn't let you;
You took my heart and tore it apart
And made me watch the tears fall from your face
