Since I was born I've heard the voice of the father
Goes in the one ear, on out the other
Hit me baby, show me the floor
I was Cassidy's gun and she was his daughter
And I was the country
We were young and I was water, I was rum
I don't let her round the Thompson no more
For she wanna go back to that sky-high mother
I'm back in Trastevere dancing the seven hills
Cutting my brother's neck grabbing the dollar bills
The day the cowboy cried
And I gave up on love and you gave up on light
And so began my second life
And honey I'm leaving everything behind
Caesar's old roads are gettin out of my mind
Now I'm burning up the night, rolling up the pieces of my
Rolling up the pieces of my life
Used to tear em up, I used to cut it down
Double it back I'm turning around, I'm goin home
It ain't easy livin on my own
(A cowboy with a one track mind)
It ain't easy livin all alone
(He drank a cup of the devil's moonshine)
And I saw the dead come alive
(Allulah no anna see ray yah)
What I saw could make a dead man cry, I'm goin home
Losing love, my baby's leaving town
Said my honey's flying high above and never coming down
Oh and I'm sorry for my stealing hands, the way they take it all
Oh hi oh dee rama no lie, I was hypnotized by the great wall
You know you know you know you know
I used to cut em up
I used to tear it down
I coulda been the king of this town but I'm going home
It ain't easy livin on my own
(A good heart and a wicked mind)
It ain't easy living all alone
(A good man and the devil's shoeshine)
Oh I saw the dead come back to life
(Allulah no anna see ray yah)
What I saw could make a dead man die, I'm goin home
Hit me, hit me, hit me, come on, come on, hit me, hit me motherfucker
