Well the verdict's out On this here town I like to drink My inhibitions down I've done all I can to deserve This thorny crown And this onry reputation That I'll never live down I can't rewrite all the words That have stepped foot on my tongue And I won't tell a thousand tales Of how I'm different from anyone You can fire all your bullets 'Til what's left is an empty gun Cause I can't do one damn thing To change the roads that I've run I've come from a long line of lovers A long line of saints But it skipped a generation And I'm fine with all I ain't The tears that I've caused Dry on skin like war paint And I've never been strong enough To break my heart's restraint I can't rewrite all the words That have stepped foot on my tongue And I won't tell a thousand tales Of how I'm different from anyone You can fire all your bullets 'Til what's left is an empty gun Cause I can't do one damn thing To change the roads that I've run There's a lot worse things I could be Like if I were anywhere less than the wreck that's me I can't rewrite all the words That have stepped foot on my tongue And I won't tell a thousand tales Of how I'm different from anyone You can fire all your bullets 'Til what's left is an empty gun Cause I can't do one damn thing To change the roads that I've run
