Keep it in my pocket
She can't hold it where she lay
She don't need it where she
Plenty of that where it could pay
I sit there by the counter
Where I sell that things that kill
Propped up by dollar bills
Behind this rusty till
I'm tired of walking this wire
It keeps me awake for heaven sake
I was made for this girl, I feel lonely
My friends don't seem to know me
Like I thought they did
Another wasted day
Counting every single breath
So this is what is left
A shawl to wear around my neck
To hold me close to home
When I'm being pulled apart
Why am I always kept away
From what I hold inside my heart?
I'm tired of walking this wire
It keeps me awake for heaven sake
I was made for this girl, I feel lonely
My friends don't seem to know me
Like I thought they did
I thought they did but they don't
