Lyrics

[00:00.73] I don't wanna talk about it,
[00:03.98] or get it off my back.
[00:06.30] I don't wanna dance around the subject,
[00:09.75] you and I both know better than that.
[00:12.33] I tried to make the best of it,
[00:15.04] but in the end it didn't really mean much.
[00:17.62] Leave me with a fiddle,
[00:18.83] sitting by the piano,
[00:20.29] breathing in the dust.
[00:24.60] My dog died.
[00:25.97] "When you were six!"
[00:27.25] Really? I guess I've never gotten over it.
[00:29.73] Dark cloud constantly hovering over me.
[00:32.20] I've been a bad seed ever since the ovaries.
[00:35.08] Momma looked at me and told me what it was,
[00:37.87] said boy's got a shadow big enough to block the sun.
[00:40.65] When it's all said and done,
[00:41.93] I'm comfortable and numb
[00:43.45] to the fact that I'm constantly sweating under the gun.
[00:46.29] But it's worth it, ain't it?
[00:47.65] My friends think I'm famous.
[00:49.12] My manager wants to put his foot inside of my anus.
[00:51.85] Haven't got a decent night's sleep now in ages
[00:54.69] and all I got to show is empty loose-leaf pages.
[00:57.54] It piles up but that's the life that I'm used to,
[01:00.67] pressing up against the knife with a loose screw.
[01:03.45] Sing the blues and everybody assumes you could use
[01:06.10] a little old-fashioned, down home talking to.
[01:08.83] I don't wanna talk about it,
[01:11.57] or get it off my back.
[01:13.68] I don't wanna dance around the subject,
[01:17.20] you and I both know better than that.
[01:19.83] I tried to make the best of it,
[01:22.61] but in the end it didn't really mean much.
[01:24.96] Leave me with a fiddle, sitting by the piano,
[01:27.70] breathing in the dust.
[01:31.89] My truck broke.
[01:33.26] "You ride the bus!"
[01:34.78] Well it never showed up and it really sucked.
[01:37.36] Storm water constantly filling my cup.
[01:39.63] Been a hot mess ever since I was just a pup.
[01:42.56] Papa looked at me and told me what it is,
[01:45.20] said boy's got a weight on his shoulders no one can lift.
[01:48.08] Tried a couple times and honestly I admit it's a bitch,
[01:51.47] but I kind of appreciate what it did cause it's worth it.
[01:53.86] Yeah? The world gets a laugh but my girl's telling me I
[01:57.86] could benefit from a quack.
[01:59.33] Haven't got a moment in forever-and-a-half,
[02:02.68] and they wonder why I'm drinking like a pirate in a crashed ship.
[02:06.02] That's it, no more no less.
[02:08.80] You should learn to be as comfortable with your mess.
[02:11.54] Sing the blues and everybody expects they could be the one to save you from the depths.
[02:16.40] I don't wanna talk about it,
[02:20.14] or get it off my back.
[02:21.71] I don't wanna dance around the subject,
[02:25.06] you and I both know better than that.
[02:27.84] I tried to make the best of it,
[02:30.67] but in the end it didn't really mean much.
[02:32.99] Leave me with a fiddle, sitting by the piano,
[02:35.68] breathing in the dust.
