Since I was born I've heard the voice of the father

goes in the one ear, on out the other

Hit me baby, show me the floor

I was Cassidy's gun and she was his daughter

And I was the country, we were young and I was water

I was rum

I don't let her round the thompson

no more for she wanna go back to that sky-high mother

I'm back in Trastevere dancing the seven hills

cutting my brother's neck grabbing the dollar bills

The day the cowboy cried

and I gave up on love and you gave up on light

and so began my second life

And honey I'm leaving everything behind

Caesar's old roads are gettin out of my mind

Now I'm burning up the night, rolling up the pieces of my

Rolling up the pieces of my life

Used to tear em up, I used to cut it down

Double it back I'm turning around, I'm goin home

It ain't easy livin on my own A cowboy with a one track mind

It ain't easy livin all alone

He drank a cup of the devil's moonshine

And I saw the dead come alive Allulah no anna see ray yah

What I saw could make a dead man cry, I'm goin home

Losing love, my baby's leaving town

Said my honey's flying high above and never coming down

Oh and I'm sorry for my stealing hands

the way they take it all

Oh hi oh dee rama no lie

I was hypnotized by the great wall

you know you know you know you know

I used to cut em up

I used to tear it down

I coulda been the king of this town but I'm going home

It ain't easy livin on my own A good heart and a wicked mind

It ain't easy living all alone A good man

and the devil's shoeshine

Oh I saw the dead come back to life

Allulah no anna see ray yah

What I saw could make a dead man die, I'm goin home

Hit me, hit me, hit me, come on, come on

hit me, hit me motherfucker
