The Ballad Of Shady Clay
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.
Someone once told me love was friendship on fire
So put me out and lay me down and I'll be fine
Just stay away for now and let me go
It's hard to forgive, and harder to forget
Just stay away for now and let me go
Promise me and maybe it'll be okay
Treason's the reason you got me running, girl
Sink all your ships with your waves
'Cause I am not the only that is sick of your games
I'll tell you something when I'm not
I swear it's something
And I say bury your doubt now
Right away
I'll party on the West Coast
I'll party on the East
