I have broken many promises, thrown cautions to the wind Rebelled in my youth but here you come again You are the message in the bottle, a light that never dims And though I let you down you'll always be my friend Put my faith in fairy tales, believe what I was told I've watched the holy eat their own, s** the meat lick the bone There is only one voice my universal guide You've always been beside me even when I wanted to die I will never forget, I will have no regrets I don't want to cheat anyone Don't want to steal from anyone Don't want to lie Don't want to quit Don't want to leave any doubt Step on anyone, hurt anyone, curse anyone Sometimes I itch and squirm to crawl out of my skin You put your arm around me like the air that I take in Won't push no needle in my arm or bathe in gasoline Never swear in Jesus name or hide behind the pain
