There is a clearing on the other side of this mountain But I can't seem to get there till the river come down There lies an oak tree where I hung my conscience And I left his body swinging in the wind, gin Who shot the sun out? Where did all of the birds go? Who said, "living ain't easy when you're hooked on this shit"? Bring me bourbon Bring me rot gut whiskey Make me feel normal and I'll love you to death No rest Well I don't think we'll Make the shoreline The waves are crashing in the wind This old boat is sinkin' lower With this cold blood coming in Where'd all my thoughts go? Who turned out my light bulb? I swear, I don't recall the last time I forget My throats a burning My eyes cold as hell Racing them white lines with my right hand in hell, jail And this old horse is gettin' slower The flies around are made of sin I'll bury him in a lonesome valley And let cold blood fill it in Here comes the sunrise To shine on all of my lies And made me just realize my body ain't fine I'm not mistaken I'm just clearly breaking Every rule and heart that comes down the line, wine Ain't got no wings, can't leave the valley Holes in my roof made of tin Sleep neath the rain with my eyes open With that cold blood coming in
