The Southern Devil The Only King of The's blog: "Pure Poetry"

From the beginning it was clear to me that I was never gonna be the kind of guy that got a free ride
And the older that I grow to be the road I chose to show in me the only one that is holding me is I
The reflection in the mirror's never getting any clearer but I see the man I use to be has died
I don't like the way I'm feeling but I know the way I'm dealing with it's not a healthy way to make it right
And there's nothing I can do about it every minute every hour is passing by I'm running out of days
I guess the best that I could do is never good enough to prove to me or anybody else that I'm ok
And now my friends don't call, my mother doesn't call and my father he just looks away
And now my friends don't call, my mother doesn't call and my father he just looks away

I ain't got no money I ain't got no time and don't nobody want to be my friend
It's always how it's gonna be no matter how I try a low life till the very end
I ain't got no money I ain't got no time and don't nobody want to be my friend
That's always how it's gonna be no matter how I try a low life till the very end

Something's wrong with the inside of me somehow I know there's gotta be
A way to get away my only company is misery
And everytime I try to get ahead I hit the wall
But at the bottom many times I'm always ready for the fall
If this is all that I can make out of this life I gotta burn
And I still got a ways to go and I still got a lot to learn
I've always heard that a man becomes the things he thinks about
But I've tried it all my life and it ain't really working out

They say - you never get something outta nothing
Each day - I pray that it gets better but it doesn't
This pain - it happens everytime I come to lovin'
It fades - it's all I got never get another
They say - you never get something outta nothing
Each day - I pray that it gets better but it doesn't
This pain - it happens everytime I come to lovin'
It fades

I ain't got no money I ain't got no time and don't nobody want to be my friend
It's always how it's gonna be no matter how I try a low life till the very end
I ain't got no money I ain't got no time and don't nobody want to be my friend
That's always how it's gonna be no matter how I try a low life till the very end

I've gotta confess that my life is a mess at the bottom of many a barrel I rest
At the bottom of many a bottles so many tomorrows I'm sorry to wait for the best
And all I keep thinking is if I keep going the way that I'm going I'm going no where fast
I'm falling I'm falling I'm falling I'm falling but there is no one to hear me
Maybe some day I will find a release finally find if there is any peace
If only I could get up on my feet I'm thinking maybe I'll finally be free
What if I never make sense of it all
What if I never get up from the fall
Imma always be a low life
Now Heaven knows my life is never perfect
But at the same time I gotta keep tryin'
Until the day that I retire with the Angels in the choir
Or I'm burning in the heat of Hells fire
And now my friends don't call, my mother doesn't call and my father he just looks away
And now my friends don't call, my mother doesn't call and my father he just looks away

I ain't got no money I ain't got no time and don't nobody want to be my friend
It's always how it's gonna be no matter how I try a low life till the very end
I ain't got no money I ain't got no time and don't nobody want to be my friend
It's always how it's gonna be no matter how I try a low life till the very end
