The Way I Am
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I’ve got a short fuse, Lord, my cannon’s loose
And I hate myself everyday that’s dealt that I couldn’t comfort you
I wish I could promise this was my last time
But I’m a bitter man and I don’t understand, Lord, why in the hell I’m cryin’
It was a cold December and I still see her in my head
Don’t ever say I didn’t love you every way that I knew how
I’ll drag you down it’s just the way I am
I’ll cut you down, Lord, anyway I can
I was a dirty kid on a corner drinkin’ a box of wine
I was young and dumb and getting spun, Lord, for the hundredth time
I was a glutton for pain or was a runaway train
So I rolled a dice for a better life and stepped out in the rain
Thought that I would walk forever, I will walk forever
And don't you help her say "I didn’t love you every way that I knew how"
I’ll drag you down it’s just the way I am
I’ll cut you down, Lord, anyway I can
It was a cold December and I will walk forever
And don't you help her say "I didn’t love you every way that I knew how"
I’ll drag you down it’s just the way I am
I’ll cut you down, Lord, anyway I can
