I'm all washed out
by the side of the road
Broken bones
Matilda left a note
and a rose
Sayin Baby honey child
I've loved you so long
But you deserve
much better than me
So I'm just burnin
all around all the miles
in the road
And I'm never goin back
and I'm never goin home
I've been gone too long
I've been less
right than wrong
I lost so much blood
in the fallin out
And I lit a fire
that wouldn't go out
Until it consumed
the walls and roof
of this house
Until all I remember
was burnin away
And all I remember
you burned it away
See for ten long years
I've been hustlin around
Tryin to wash the sins
and the sweat
from my brow
Was tryin to find a better
life for me and my own
Just some rest
for these tired
workin fingers
But nobody never
gonna tell you the way
You gotta figure it out
boys and suffer the rain
And the fools
in the night
and the heat
in the day
When all you
ever really wanted
was for someone
to understand
And I lit a fire
that wouldn't go out
Until it consumed
the walls and roof
of this house
Until all I remember
was burnin away
And all I remember
you burned it away
Well don't you
take it so hard
and baby don't you cry
You cross your
hard heart
and you hope to die
Don't you tell me
no more lies
you lied all the time
Don't you tell me
no more lies
you lied every night
And you're
sugar and spice
and everything nice
You got Monroe hips
your poisoned lips
and knives
And you're
sugar and spice
and everything nice
You got open wounds
in a young boy's pride
And you're
sugar and spice
and everything nice
You got Monroe hips
your poisoned lips
and knives
Sugar and spice
everything nice
Open wounds
in a young boy's pride
And I lit a fire
that wouldn't go out
Until it consumed
the walls and roof
of this house
Until all I remember
was burnin away
And all that you left me
you burned it away
Well don't you take it
so hard and baby
don't you cry
Oh you cross your
hard heart
and you hope to die
Don't you tell me
no more lies
you lied all the time
Don't you tell me
no more lies
you lied every night
Time time tickin away
Time time tickin away
Time time tickin away
Time time tickin away
