lyrics

Been hoping on better days
Lord knows I’ve done my time
Don’t sleep just stare
Falling stars for eyes
Keep chasing city blocks
No use clocking miles
I’ve succumbed to the weight of the world
Was it worth waiting in line?
There’s no water in the wishing well
Since that river ran dry
I’m not the kind to kiss and tell
Maybe you could change my mind

Hell bent on riding out
These four tires need tread
I’m saying goodbyes
Repaying debts
Filling up coffee cups
With all the tears I’ve shed
I’ve driven to the ends of the earth
Was it worth staying in bed?
There’s no water in the wishing well
Since that river ran dry
I’m not the kind to kiss and tell
Maybe you could change my mind

Hey momma don’t it hurt so bad
I’ve fallen on my own sword
They buried the hatchet right in my back

Hey momma been left for dead
I was digging at my own hole
When they buried the bullet right in my head


Been praying for better days
Oh my God I’ve tried
My voice is sore
My fingers tired
Keep tracing forehead lines
No use counting time
I’ve succumbed to the weight of the world
Was it worth waiting in line?
There’s no water in the wishing well
Since that river ran dry
I’m not the kind to kiss and tell
Maybe you could change my mind

Hey momma don’t it hurt so bad
I’ve fallen on my own sword
They buried the hatchet right in my back

Hey momma been left for dead
I was digging at my own hole
When they buried the bullet right in my head
