House Of Freaks - Birds Of Prey lyrics

At the crack of dawn I heard the rooster crow Packed my bags and split Hopped the C & O Driftin through the South Spent a lot a week in that town Just searchin for a friend If you could see me know with this ball and chain You'd run me out of town again You'd never believe a word I say They're pickin at my bones like the birds of prey Call her out one night on a pickup truck lay my head in every village every town straight drunk One day the dog went lame and the dog won't move no more If you could see me know with this ball and chain You'd run me out of town again You'd never believe a word I say They're pickin at my bones like the birds of prey Every mile I roam Every card I play Every bottle of whiskey I drink Cuts my life another day I see it in the dice I see it in the cards
