There’s mud in your eye
Your teeth are stained
Your mind is dark
Your life is pain
You drink blackwater
Smoke a troubled pipe
Dally the day
Rock all night
You’re gentle, savage
Brutally damaged
There’s an ape on your back
Your voice is ravaged
Your words are petals
Fallen from the sun
Your songs are angels
Touching everyone
There’s blood on your clothes
Holes in your shirt
Your heart fell out
You poke at the hurt
Tobacco and ink
And a smoking guitar
You cheated death
In your wrecked up car
Your bones are cracked
Your back is broken
It’s better to write
What can’t be spoken
Your words are petals
Fallen from the sun
Your songs are angels
Touching everyone
They called you a cult
Under the radar
Fed your ego
Called you a player
You sold your rights
But not your soul
They broke your bank
Stuck you in a hole
Then the cow ran dry
The milk won’t come
They turn you away
Find another one
Your words are petals
Fallen from the sun
Your songs are angels
Touching everyone
You love your boys
You fight your exes
Prodigious son
Of roughneck Texas
King of Austin
Prince of pain
You’re swept away
But you remain
Your words are petals
Fallen from the sun
Your songs are angels
Touching everyone
