I have been down in valley of tears[00:00:04]
I have stood on the highest peak[00:00:08]
For the best part of a week[00:00:12]
Battered and bruised I had pulled myself through[00:00:16]
Every scene I would never repeat[00:00:20]
I have hung out with the beasts of the field[00:00:24]
And with them I've spent many a long nights[00:00:28]
Got in some awful bad fights[00:00:33]
I came unstuck I was down on my luck[00:00:37]
And I'm still gettin' over the bites[00:00:41]
Sounds of my own heart breaking[00:00:45]
Not to mention my mind[00:00:50]
“Nothing can hurt me” a small voice said[00:00:53]
Into a mike take a hike[00:00:57]
No one will lead me astray anymore[00:01:02]
You are welcome to try if you like[00:01:05]
Welcome to try if you like[00:01:10]
I had been down in the valley so long[00:01:16]
I had almost run out of respect[00:01:19]
Got in right up to my neck[00:01:24]
Battered but wise to the truth and the lies[00:01:28]
That no layman would ever accept[00:01:32]
Reachin' for all of the good things in life[00:01:36]
Can provide some surprises I guess[00:01:40]
It be may the way we are dressed[00:01:44]
These threads that you see mean so little to me[00:01:48]
They don't count when they put us to rest[00:01:52]
Late about dusk I would start to feel[00:01:57]
One more day had been lost[00:02:01]
Nothin' I'd say ever seemed to convey[00:02:05]
How I felt with that I have dealt[00:02:08]
All of my children are healthy and sane[00:02:13]
They may say anything that they like[00:02:17]
Say anything that they like[00:02:21]
Sitting alone in the Blue Ridge Saloon[00:02:28]
Is no place for an angel to be[00:02:31]
Ladies make faces at me[00:02:36]
Battered but clean I had pulled my machine[00:02:40]
Off the road I was too tired to see[00:02:43]
Wearing a smile like the rim of a cup[00:02:48]
I will get down to my final point[00:02:51]
There is no one left to anoint[00:02:56]
And the sowing of seed was it good yes indeed[00:03:00]
It thrills me but only to a point[00:03:03]
Use your imagination[00:03:09]
Try every trick in the book[00:03:13]
My mother said with the life that I led[00:03:17]
I'd be broke holy smoke[00:03:20]
All of my children are healthy and sane[00:03:25]
They may say anything that they like[00:03:28]
Say anything that they like[00:03:33]
If they want to preach and are not within reach[00:03:39]
They may say anything that they like[00:03:42]
Say anything that they like[00:03:47]
