Dan Hannon - Pensacola lyrics

Now I have a nagging flaw I never saw it sneaking up It wrapped its dirty arms around me Pockets full of blood After I had seen the sight I hardly had a choice to fight A nail snuck out behind the van And it hit me through my sweater and my shirt And when I looked at Michael he heard "I need to be alone" But when he turned his head I soon corrected "Need to be at home" It took me all this time to get where I said I would never be I hope it's not even out there I hope eventually you'll see what you've been turning me into It's all for you It feels like 37 years and I am nothing but a bank If we could build our credit score "Incredible," they'll surely say But I can credit only one to focus all the fame It has the first and last even the middle of my very name I am the greatest man that never lived and now I never sleep I never lost a fight but never knew I started one the same I never knew how capable I would become I'm tired of talking to a wall when I could talk to someone else It's got seven days without a word and you're with someone somewhere else My daughter, she barely eats She barely sleeps She barely speaks My daughter, she barely eats She barely sleeps She barely speaks to me (To me, to me) We spent the most of nights defending fights you fought in the past But it was different now and I'm entirely too drunk to ask (To me, to me) You spend most every day enjoying the sun and hoping it lasts (To me, to me) I have a funny gut and feeling doubtful you'll get it back (To me, to me) I have a funny gut and feeling doubtful you'll get it back Alcohol, dirty malls, Pensacola, Florida bars
