[Intro] Said I'm back, back Yeah you write, right Go to sleep in the morning Wake at night, night I said I'm back, back Yeah you write, right Go to sleep in the morning Wake at night
[Hook x2] I ain't got no time to waste I've been wasted Praying for sun light to break but the day is in Twilight I'm wide awake getting faded One butterfly pull the iron out the maiden
[Verse 1] My life story just the irony you blending in The black cowboy who's really just an indian Outcast citizen, out for cash and dividends Bread cheese and bank I'm just really tryin' to save my skin And take care of kin plus my dearest friends Who gave me bread or a bed when I had no ins Or stole the shovel when I went to dig my grave again And asked me where my album's at and when I'll play again
[Hook x2]
[Verse 2] I've been broken hearted, I've broken hearts Can't tell the treasure from the trash when it gets too dark I've been torn apart, but I've been mended back With a needle and a thread and an nicotine patch Getting clean hoping nothing pushes me to relapse Like watching dreams pass and chasing greener grass You're better off crying right into that empty glass So sick of being depressed this should'nt make me laugh
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3] I'm back, back Yeah you write, right Go to sleep in the morning Wake at night, night Said I'm back, back Yeah you write, right Go to sleep in the morning Wake at night, night Stay up all night and I songwrite Of my whole life and where it's gone right Where it's gone wrong and where I'll fix it all And where I wake up and I feel it in a crystal ball
[Hook x2]
[Outro] Yeah pull the iron out the maiden Smoke a butterfly and fall where the days end Pull the iron out the maiden Butterflies in my stomach as the day is in
