lyrics
I awoke on bended knee,
slid my way across misery,
I wretched my hands around your offers of help,
but it don't mean a thing til' I get up and save myself.
I cut my wrists on a gold cliché,
won my youth just to lose old age,
and I shrugged off all the "you look unwell's,"
but it don't mean a thing til' I get up and save myself.
Oh lord, I don't think I'm crazy,
but there's something wrong with me.
I've been drinking too much whiskey,
I've been smoking too much weed.
I'm on a road to hell,
but I don't regret a thing.
This life is hard just take it from me,
Heavy is the burden if you want to live free.
I stepped in front of a runaway train,
Just so I could feel alive again,
I tore my heart out with the hope to sell,
but it ain't worth a thing til' I get up and save myself.
Oh lord, I don't think I'm crazy,
but there's something wrong with me.
I've been drinking too much whiskey,
I've been smoking too much weed.
I'm on a road to hell,
but I don't regret a thing.
This life is hard just take it from me,
Heavy is the burden if you want to live free.
I'll just keep on rolling,
until they kick me out,
Only flashing lights and sirens gonna shut me down.
Oh lord, I don't think I'm crazy,
but there's something wrong with me.
I've been drinking too much whiskey,
I've been smoking too much weed.
I'm on a road to hell,
but I don't regret a thing.
This life is hard just take it from me,
Heavy is the burden if you want to live free.

Hailing from Boise, Idaho and born into the musically silent shadow of a Global Plague, Rattlesnake Preachers formed around a combined love for the sincerity of folk lyricism, rock and roll revivalism, and the raucous spirit of a heavy metal concert.
