Lyrics:
sickness overtakes you
Or old companions shake you
As through this world you wander all alone
When friends you haven't any
In your pocket not a penny
There's
and gone,
Your baby sister's all gone wrong,
And your daddy needs you home right away.
Not a shirt on my back,
Not a penny on my name.
Well I can't go
Don't shed a tear for me
No, it's not your style
If you're not here by me
Then it's not worth while
[Chorus]
My world is our world
And this
world in just twelve months
Been gone for so long I might've just found God
Well, probably not, if I keep my habits up and
Probably not if I can't keep
(Jim Lauderdale)
People tell you what I need
Is a lesson in defeat
Got you bothered, got you down
Not so sure you want me 'round
Baby, I'm on your
And she need not fear.
She's by my side, and the sky is wide,
So let the sun shine bright
On Animal Farm, my animal home.
On Animal Farm, my animal
at him and said I can't do no more for him Jim
With a hand that was trembling I picked up my gun
And I aimed it at Shep's faithful head
But I just
goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk, but it's not enough
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
I look
leave you, smell the Folgers crystals
This is a lyrical combat, gentlemen hold your pistols
But I form like Voltron and blast you with my shoulder
leave you, smell the Folgers crystals
This is a lyrical combat, gentlemen hold your pistols
But I form like Voltron and blast you with my shoulder
leave you, smell the Folgers crystals
This is a lyrical combat, gentlemen hold your pistols
But I form like Voltron and blast you with my shoulder
the work's all done this fall
Now when I left my home, boys, my Mother for me cried
She begged me not to go, boys, for me she would have died
My Mother's
I wait
Before you send my boy back home to me
For my eyes are growing dim and I'm longing for my Jim
Please hurry up and let my boy go free
The warden
What the fuck is this world
Running to, you didn't
Leave a message, at least I
Could have learned your voice one last time
Daily minefield, this
conversation, yeah
You look stunning, dear
So don't ask that question here
This is my only fear, that we become
Beautiful people
Drop top, designer clothes
noises)
This is not an interlude
I am Jim
And when I go outside
They're like "Jim!"
And when I go to my house
They're like Jim
And when I go outside
They're
This world is not my home I'm just a passing through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue
The angels beckon me from heaven's open
This world is not my home I'm just a passing through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue
The angels beckon me from heaven's open
next?"
"I didn't screw it up, did I?
Okay, but here's another one I could screw up"
"What is it?"
"Am I going to do this by myself?"
"Do it by
This world is not my home I'm just a passing through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue
The angels beckon me from heaven's open
My heart is beating from me
I am standing all alone
Please call me only if you are coming home
Waste another year flies by
Waste a night or two
are strangers who are simply passing by
In light of all eternity
It's only temporary
This place was never meant to be my home
Not comfortable in
What the fuck is this world
Running to, you didn't
Leave a message, at least I
Could have learned your voice one last time
Daily minefield, this
think I'll go in here check it out
And see what's on the bar
What is the game plan what's with this job
What's the problem at home
That's the problem by
