A brute soul wanders through this land Just long enough to become a man And chase them blues away Always one out to Judas another You never just turn on a brother It's a writ bearing too much sway A cross to bear that you cannot weigh Anytime (at all)
Up the creek with no turnaround You always said you're nobody's clown And it abides, I pray You aren't long for this world and you know it A mortal flash in your smile when you show it That could chase our blues away Damn your soul this day
