[Chorus]
I've been king (king)
On the back of my head
Uh huh
I'm eatin'
(Yeah)
The dirt of the pavement
I taste the liquor
On the back of my breath
I can't help but think
I might have deserved it
[Verse 1]
It's the brother's turn
Since the sun came up
Seems I lived a thousand lives
I need a drink to finish this up
Bartender, if you wouldn't mind
In walks a little Janie
Five feet five
Leopard print get up
Legs for miles
Whiskey on the rocks
And a familiar smile
I said next things next
My face is on the tiles
[Chorus]
I've been king (king)
On the back of my head
Uh huh
I'm eatin'
(Yeah)
The dirt of the pavement
I taste the liquor
On the back of my breath
I can't help but think
I might have deserved it
[Verse 2]
Now I'm deep in my own darkness
As I move towards the light
I see my uncle and my granny
Welcomin' me to the other side
They told me I was early
But I was happy to retire
I thought I was right on time
But in the land of the dead
It's such a warm embrace
But now I'm back on the floor
Bloody nose under my face
People crowded around me
Askin', “Henry, what the hell took place?”
Hey
Then a voice from the blue
Like a ship in a fog
He said, I'm the one that hit ya
And you're lucky you weren't shot
‘Cause I had my pistol
Pointed straight at your heart, my man
You see, Janie is my daughter
She's wild and free
And she seems to enjoy
A musician's company
But I'm not convinced by you
Ya hairy little sh**
So I had to lay down
My own smash hit
[Chorus]
I've been king (king)
On the back of my head
Uh huh
I'm eatin'
(Yeah)
The dirt of the pavement
I taste the liquor
On the back of my breath
I can't help but think
I might have deserved it
I've been king (king) hit
On the back of my head
Uh huh
I'm eatin'
(Yeah)
The dirt of the pavement
I taste the liquor
On the back of my breath
I can't help but think
I can't help but think
I can't help but think
I might have deserved it
I've been king (king)
On the back of my head
Uh huh
I'm eatin'
(Yeah)
The dirt of the pavement
I taste the liquor
On the back of my breath
I can't help but think
I might have deserved this
