Ball of Clay - Fire Whiskey

Rain, rain on my face Hasn't stopped raining for days My world is a flood Slowly I become one with the mud But if I can't swim after 40 days And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves Lift me up so high that I cannot fall Lift me oh (Lift me up) When I'm falling (Lift me up) I'm weak and I'm dying (Lift me up) I need you to hold me (Lift me up) Keep me from drowning again Downpour on my soul Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control Dark sky all around Can't feel my feet touching the ground But if I can't swim after 40 days And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves Lift me up so high that I cannot fall Lift me oh (Lift me up) When I'm falling (Lift me up) I'm weak and I'm dying (Lift me up) I need you to hold me (Lift me up) Keep me from drowning again Calm the storms that drench my eyes And dry the streams still flowing Casting down all waves of sin And guilt that overthrow me If I can't swim after 40 days And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves Lift me up so high that I cannot fall Lift me oh (Lift me up) When I'm falling (Lift me up) I'm weak and I'm dying (Lift me up) I need you to hold me (Lift me up) Keep me from drowning again (Lift me up) When I'm falling (Lift me up) I'm weak and I'm dying (Lift me up) I need you to hold me (Lift me up) Keep me from drowning again

We pick up in New YorkExplain City Try to find a man I never got to be But when I push down on the pavement I found the whole thing so much harder than it seemed The only deal I ever signed No devil drew a dotted line The stage was set, the words were mine I'm not complainin' Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Water, water, water sleep Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Wake up, shake it off, and repeat It's just a phase, it's not forever It's just a phase, but I still might have a ways to go Every night around this time My friends and I retreated like a race When I really start to break it down I wouldn't trust a girl who knew about this place Barkin' on with no one left Speak softly underneath my breath "Hey world, you ain't seen nothin' left" Great, now it's rainin' Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Water, water, water sleep Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Wake up, shake it off, and repeat It's just a phase, it's not forever It's just a phase, but I still might have a ways to go Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Water, water, water sleep Dream somebody missed me Wake up, shake it off, and repeat And repeat and repeat after me Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Water, water, water sleep Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Cut me off and pour me in the street Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Water, water, water sleep

I don't mind work and I love to fish I been known as a son of a bitch When life gets tough I roll my sleeves up Yeah, I get it done it's always enough I toil real hard with nothing to show I owe it all to the savings and loan So break our backs and make us slaves All for the love of the USA Times get harder give me a fire starter Drench my self up in holy water Spiritual things the heartland bleeds I need a Bible, a gun and gasoline Ain't nothing much to do in this town The industry's gone and the mill has closed down And up on the hill lives a Jezebel She's got some sin and some pills to sell So no need to lie with your opium eyes When you got a script there's no need to hide Bitch and moan and dance in the street We would rather have bombs then food to eat Times get harder give me a fire starter Drench my self up in holy water Spiritual things the heartland bleeds I need a Bible, a gun and gasoline And you think that you're really gonna make a change Maybe you and I are the ones to blame Times get harder give me a fire starter Drench my self up in holy water Spiritual things the heartland bleeds I need a Bible, a gun and gasoline Times get harder give me a fire starter Drench my self up in holy water Spiritual things the heartland bleeds I need a Bible, a gun and gasoline Gasoline Gasoline Gasoline Gasoline Gasoline
