Ornery - A Man With Nothing to Offer Lyrics

Well once a good life was waiting at my feet
There stood a good man just ready to love me
Wouldn't I rather just throw it out
For a man with nothing to offer in a dirty road house

I love you baby, you know I love you true
But aint nothin could make me come home to you
When there's something waiting just to tear me down
At the bottom of a bottle at a dirty road house

When I dry out I still see them maritimes
A red clay river underneath that Atlantic sky
I hear the sound of our newborns tiny breath
I can't see nothing now but hellfire waiting for me after death

I panicked at the station just as I was about to leave
The walls closed in and I couldn't breath
Well I'll be damned if I don't wake up every day
Just as shaken and terrified as when I got up on that train

Well what's a good life anyways
And how the hell am I supposed to stand in one place
When I saw the way that he looked in my eyes
With a genuine joy that ain't fit for my kind

I miss our life and our baby child
Ain't seen the sunlight in a long long while
Well i ain't going nowhere but I ain't staying here
Well hey bartender I'll take whiskey with my beer
I'm sing'n I don't wanna wake up for a f*ckin' hundred years

Cause once a good life was waiting at my feet
There stood a good man just ready to love me
Wouldn't i rather just throw it out
For a night with nothing to offer in a dirty road house
For a man with nothing to offer in a dirty road house
To be a man with nothing to offer in a dirty road house
Yeah I'm a man with nothing to offer
