[Verse 1]
Make me a mop to clean up the messes
That I've made in my life
Lord, make me a spoon, smooth on the edges
When my words wanna reach for a knife
[Chorus]
Make me a shovel, make me whatever
A handle on a cup you glue back together

Then do what you gotta do

Lord, make me a song in some old, dusty jukebox
Just make me feel somethin' I ain't felt in years
[Chorus]
Make me a shovel, make me whatever
A handle on a cup you glue back together
If breakin' a man just makes him better
Then do what you gotta do
[Outro]
Take me, huh
Break me
Lord, make me

This song was kind of my first step toward saying, ‘I do need t...
