Tall and Mighty

Feelin' so low, downright mean
Trying to live up to some honky tonk dream
Wondering if three chords and the truth
Still mean the same to me

Well I'm feelin' kind of lucky and also damn strange
Been all around the world for some small piece of change
Singin' my heart out at some shitty bar
Hawkin' on my old guitar
Whoever thought that I would take it this far?

Some days you're gonna feel real fine
On top of the world, on cloud nine
Can't nobody touch you when you're after your piece of the pie
Other days you won't feel alright
Other days you wanna break down and cry
Blow up in smoke like some ol' pipeline, like teargas in the sky
You can't stand tall and mighty all the time

Now everything's not as bad as it seems
Most of my friends are on methamphetamines
Trying to raise babies in this cold world
Wondering what could have been

Yeah they're puttin' in the hours on a river barge
Pushing some freight past a gravel bar
Trying to make the best of what's been handed to them
Still wondering what could have been

Yeah, they're trying to start all over again
Some days you're gonna feel real fine
On top of the world, on cloud nine
Can't nobody touch you when you're after your piece of the pie
Other days you won't feel alright
Other days you wanna break down and cry
Blow up in smoke like some ol' pipeline, like teargas in the sky
You can't stand tall and mighty all the time

Tall and mighty all the time
Tall and mighty all the time
And everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
You just can't stand tall and mighty all the time
