Take it down, put it in a jar with butterflies
Fill it up with some formaldehyde
You won't see it again
You said take it slow, it's a mood and it will come and go
But the joints I needed didn't grow
And left me crippled in your eyes
Oh and all good cowboys know
There ain't no good ol' home sweet home
So I'll raise my protest, raise my drink
And I won't live here no more
Cuz you never learned my name
It was the one name you should've known
And I will lay me down
And I will lay me down
I will lay me down, the road
A dollar in another jukebox just to dance with you
Oh but all it does is play the blues
And on and on they go
No and I won't be, another mess to clean in aisle three
This late night shift has got me questioning
If daylight will come at all
Oh and all good cowboys know
There ain't no good ol' home sweet home
So I'll raise my protest, raise my drink
And I won't live here no more
Cuz you never learned my name
It was the one name you should've known
And I will lay me down
I will lay me down, the road
Here am I, staring standing on a borderline
This life I'm leading really isn't mine
Oh and all good cowboys know
There ain't no good ol' home sweet home
So I'll raise my protest, raise my drink
And I won't live here no more
Cuz you never learned my name
It was the one name you should've known
And I will lay me down
I will lay me down, the road
