Lyrics
Madman
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 was only eight or nine, the last time
I had a heart-to-heart with Jesus
And let the devil take my childhood in my mind
I let the chemistry go and listen him call them twinners
So I packed another load and I cracked another beer
By the time I hit the road my conscious always crystal clear
I'm looking my life in the eyes of a mad man
Through the eyes of a mad man
Now I'm looking my life in the eyes of a mad man
Through the eyes of a mad man
What the sinful don't know, the twisted people understand
Well my momma always said, that in the end
The goodness always wins
But momma never shared a bed, never laid the head
Never laid down with all her favorite sins
And my daddy always said I'll never be no good
Well he taught me everything I know I turned out exactly
Like I should
Now I'm looking my life in the eyes of a mad man
Through the eyes of a mad man
I'm looking my life in the eyes of a mad man
Through the eyes of a mad man
I'm looking my life through the eyes of a mad man
I'm looking my life in the eyes of a mad man
Through the eyes of a mad man
Yeah I'm looking my life in the eyes of a mad man
Through the eyes of a mad man
What the sinful don't know
What the sinful don't know
What the sinful don't know
The twisted people understand
