[ Featuring Eric McCann, Matthew Allen Van Winkle ]
I'm well aware some say I'm a fool
Grinnin' at her new man Bill like I do.
He hits prit' near the gun when he's pattin' my back
Someday he won't miss it, and that'll be that.
I know my own trouble, I know my own life.
Better make it a double, 'cos I know my own life.
The room get's spooked and quiet when Bill walks through the door
But I get laughin' louder than I was laughin' before.
There's puddles I've spilled with my drinkin'
There's a rain comin' down in a pour
There's a flood that I've cried, so I'll never be dry.
Sweet Jesus, come steer me to shore.
I let him beat me at pool, so calm and genteel,
But he'll be played for a fool when he bumps into that steel.
I'll pull the piece from my waist, not terribly fast,
Catch the look on his face, and that'll be that.
There's puddles I've spilled with my drinkin'
There's a rain comin' down in a pour
There's a flood that I've cried, so I'll never be dry.
Sweet Jesus, come steer me to shore.
