You need a victim Someone to teach Or maybe it's a matter of getting more sleep You put me on the front line Treat me like a back line I'm getting tired and it's getting harder to breath But we can blame it on the Tennessee wildfire smoke in the air November doesn't usually feel like this It's about a time, that's about right I've been a sinner all of my life I got a bad view of the world Maybe it's by the way you're shaking my hand But you're just a man, a conquering man And these are just words to write a song Because you don't ask me how I feel You don't even look at me I'm all alone Born in a war I hear my Daddy saying be your own girl Cut from a rib Made into a waitress The tide is high but you won't see me run But we can blame it on Election Day pushing down the coast The road, the radio, too much smoke It's about a time, that's about right I've been a sinner all of my life I got a bad view of the world Maybe it's by the way you're shaking my hand But you're just a man, a conquering man And these are just words to write a song Because you don't ask me how I feel You don't even look at me Maybe it's the tone I take talking to you I guess I come off sounding awful cruel It's about a time, that's about right I've been a sinner all of my life I got a bad view of the world Maybe it's by the way you're shaking my hand But you're just a man, a conquering man And these are just words to write a song Because you don't ask me how I feel You don't even look at me Oh no, you don't even look at me
