Correction Lyrics If It Don’t Bleed by James McMurtry

Back

Lyrics

Lookin' back down the road from a little way's out
I never had a fear and I never had a doubt
If I'd had a lick of sense I'd have figured that out pretty fast
But I wasn't any smarter than the average kid
Somebody might have noticed but I never did
I never saw the future fadin' right into the past

Talkin' to the wallpaper wanderin' the halls
I burned a lot of bridges and I dropped a lot of balls
It's a wonder I can ever go back to any place I've been
But I wouldn't get down on my knees on a bed
I'm near enough to Jеsus as I ever wanna get
Seekin' salvation isn't part of my gеneral plan

Say your prayers for yourself, I raise my glass to your health
I don't mind if you don't look like me
I can share my bread and wine, I come from another time
And it don't matter all that much if it don't bleed
If it don't bleed

Now it's all I can do just to get out of bed
There's more in the mirror than there is up ahead
I smile and I nod like I heard what you said every time
So run another rack, pour another shot
You don't get it back so give it all you got
While you still got a more or less functional body and mind
Say your prayers for yourself, I raise my glass to your health
I don't mind if you don't look like me
I can share my bread and wine, I come from another time
And it don't matter all that much if it don't bleed
If it don't bleed

I learned to answer my calls and open my mail
I paid my taxes and I stayed out of jail
You stay in the game when you're too broke to fail, that's a fact
Talkin' to the wallpaper, sleepin' in the halls
Bones get brittle so you better not fall
You slow to a crawl and time gets to ballin' the jack
Run you right off of the track

Say your prayers for yourself, I raise my glass to your health
I don't mind if you don't talk like me
I can share my bread and wine, I come from another time
And it don't matter all that much if it don't bleed
If it don't bleed
If it don't bleed
If it don't bleed
If it don't bleed
