Some Blues

Can you look me in the eyes today?
I swear I'll try to do the same
Let me tell you 'bout the shape I'm in
So come on inside and let's begin

Places and towns I've tried to outrun
You don't get far when you're what you're running from

Maybe when I die my sins will be forgiven
Well I'm only twenty-nine but barely livin'
After all what could be so different
It's just another way to hide from my life

But I was changed ever after
Born and raised in it's fiery light
And though my pain turned to laughter
I was in a prison of my own delight

Well
I'd like to be your only man
But I wear this affliction like a wedding band
As to the point you're trying to understand
It's just another way to hide and it's my right

Oooooh
Oooooh
Oooooh

Can you take me in your arms and sway
I fear I'm lost to float away
It doesn't matter what you thought it'd cost
You pay in full in fear and loss

And the cost is everything
It cost me every last dollar and dram
And like a slave to it's master
I was guided by it's violent hands

Well
Don't look to me I'm falling faster
Every step I take seems to lead to disaster
If I finally get what I'm after
It's just another way to hide from my life

Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
