Likes of Me
She's cold to the heart and a man's high praise
Bound to shoot you down in the end
Can't hold her or her restless heart
Much less her ringless hand
And with the lightning striking up above and the rain falling in my hair
I've seen her footsteps walk right over the falling of a million tears
Now I'm hollering out the gospel
Between the ringing of the bronze
Hoping I can move a mountain
With the warble of my songs
But there's one thing you and I know best
And you can't help to be that way
It's to leave me empty-handed
With a thousand words to say
And you could hold your own with the devil
Hell you could probably even call him family
Then you light up the flame of a mighty downfall
And you can make it out alive without the likes of me
Now if it were easy bettin'
On a way to play your heart
Then I wouldn't be all strung out
To dry in the yard
And I turn my face away from yours
As you fool another man
Then give him the thought, that all the drinks he bought you
They didn't mean a damn
And you could hold your own with the devil
Hell you could probably even call him family
Then you light up the flame of a mighty downfall
And you can make it out alive without the likes of me
And you could make it out alive without the likes of me
And you could hold your own with the devil
Hell you could probably even call him family
Then you light up the flame of a mighty downfall
And you can make it out alive without the likes of me
Said you could make it out alive without the likes of me
Bound to shoot you down in the end
Can't hold her or her restless heart
Much less her ringless hand
And with the lightning striking up above and the rain falling in my hair
I've seen her footsteps walk right over the falling of a million tears
Now I'm hollering out the gospel
Between the ringing of the bronze
Hoping I can move a mountain
With the warble of my songs
But there's one thing you and I know best
And you can't help to be that way
It's to leave me empty-handed
With a thousand words to say
And you could hold your own with the devil
Hell you could probably even call him family
Then you light up the flame of a mighty downfall
And you can make it out alive without the likes of me
Now if it were easy bettin'
On a way to play your heart
Then I wouldn't be all strung out
To dry in the yard
And I turn my face away from yours
As you fool another man
Then give him the thought, that all the drinks he bought you
They didn't mean a damn
And you could hold your own with the devil
Hell you could probably even call him family
Then you light up the flame of a mighty downfall
And you can make it out alive without the likes of me
And you could make it out alive without the likes of me
And you could hold your own with the devil
Hell you could probably even call him family
Then you light up the flame of a mighty downfall
And you can make it out alive without the likes of me
Said you could make it out alive without the likes of me
