Joe Henry - Dead to the World lyrics

There's a truck pulling up to the house next door However, I'm dead to the world, There's a hat blowing off of your head to the floor Now I'm dead to the world; On dirty old Dean Street the power is down And too cold to dig a good hole in the ground For the hope that we used to all pa** around I'm dead to the world I came up a fighter I was quicker than blood Now I'm dead to the world, Riding the rails and drunk on the flood Now I'm dead to the world; And I had a dream that nobody knew To laugh with your last breath when you're through But now nobody knows any better than you I'm dead to the world Give me some sugar don't talk so mean I'm dead to the world Ain't nobody knows all the glory I've seen Now I'm dead to the world; And you loved me best with no promise to keep And no way to hear what I shouldn't repeat, My mouth full of gold and no weight on my feet And dead to the world The devil may care when you've had enough Of whatever it is overflowing your cup, I'll follow you down but I'm not coming up I'm dead to the world
