It was sunday mornin' and I found myself alone I took me a shovel and I dug myself a hole At times I thought that I would die But I left those days somewhere behind There's only so much a man can take Before he knows He knows he's gonna break Cuz a man's gotta take what he can take When he's got one foot down in the grave You never know where the road is gonna end Sometimes I think this bird This bird's my only friend I murdered my past life and I covered up its bones I gathered my possessions and I took out on the road There's been nights I drank myself to sleep I lay my head on nails with bottles at my feet When I awoke I thought I was free But there he'd be That bird that follows me A man ain't meant to be alone With demons scratching at his soul If I had wings I'd probably fly If I had tears I know I'd probably cry
