[00:00.73]I don't wanna talk about it,
[00:03.98]or get it off my back.
[00:06.30]I don't wanna dance around the subject,
[00:09.75]you and I both know better than that.
[00:12.33]I tried to make the best of it,
[00:15.04]but in the end it didn't really mean much.
[00:17.62]Leave me with a fiddle,
[00:18.83]sitting by the piano,
[00:20.29]breathing in the dust.
[00:24.60]My dog died.
[00:25.97]"When you were six!"
[00:27.25]Really? I guess I've never gotten over it.
[00:29.73]Dark cloud constantly hovering over me.
[00:32.20]I've been a bad seed ever since the ovaries.
[00:35.08]Momma looked at me and told me what it was,
[00:37.87]said boy's got a shadow big enough to block the sun.
[00:40.65]When it's all said and done,
[00:41.93]I'm comfortable and numb
[00:43.45]to the fact that I'm constantly sweating under the gun.
[00:46.29]But it's worth it, ain't it?
[00:47.65]My friends think I'm famous.
[00:49.12]My manager wants to put his foot inside of my anus.
[00:51.85]Haven't got a decent night's sleep now in ages
[00:54.69]and all I got to show is empty loose-leaf pages.
[00:57.54]It piles up but that's the life that I'm used to,
[01:00.67]pressing up against the knife with a loose screw.
[01:03.45]Sing the blues and everybody assumes you could use
[01:06.10]a little old-fashioned, down home talking to.
[01:08.83]I don't wanna talk about it,
[01:11.57]or get it off my back.
[01:13.68]I don't wanna dance around the subject,
[01:17.20]you and I both know better than that.
[01:19.83]I tried to make the best of it,
[01:22.61]but in the end it didn't really mean much.
[01:24.96]Leave me with a fiddle, sitting by the piano,
[01:27.70]breathing in the dust.
[01:31.89]My truck broke.
[01:33.26]"You ride the bus!"
[01:34.78]Well it never showed up and it really sucked.
[01:37.36]Storm water constantly filling my cup.
[01:39.63]Been a hot mess ever since I was just a pup.
[01:42.56]Papa looked at me and told me what it is,
[01:45.20]said boy's got a weight on his shoulders no one can lift.
[01:48.08]Tried a couple times and honestly I admit it's a bitch,
[01:51.47]but I kind of appreciate what it did cause it's worth it.
[01:53.86]Yeah? The world gets a laugh but my girl's telling me I
[01:57.86]could benefit from a quack.
[01:59.33]Haven't got a moment in forever-and-a-half,
[02:02.68]and they wonder why I'm drinking like a pirate in a crashed ship.
[02:06.02]That's it, no more no less.
[02:08.80]You should learn to be as comfortable with your mess.
[02:11.54]Sing the blues and everybody expects they could be the one to save you from the depths.
[02:16.40]I don't wanna talk about it,
[02:20.14]or get it off my back.
[02:21.71]I don't wanna dance around the subject,
[02:25.06]you and I both know better than that.
[02:27.84]I tried to make the best of it,
[02:30.67]but in the end it didn't really mean much.
[02:32.99]Leave me with a fiddle, sitting by the piano,
[02:35.68]breathing in the dust.
