Bummin'

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.

You can have my life, I'm sad

You can have the beat in my heart

You can be my light, pizzazz

You can be my spark in the dark

But if I'm out there actin' the bum I'll become one

So no more frigid nights in the cold

I would fall asleep in the lawn 'til the sun rose

14 karat gold, gold

You can have my life, I'm sad

Broken downtown down on Wedgewood & 8th

And I'm bleedin' like a heartache

Get ready to break

And then on down the road

Comes another mistake

Try hard as I might

I can't quite get it right

I'm bummin'

I'm bummin'

We can ride the bus all around

In this town, I'm on it

We can fall asleep on the ground

By the sound, I want it

Picture perfect, matted and framed

With my name right on it

14 karat gold, gold

You can have my life, I'm sad

Broken downtown down on Wedgewood & 8th

And I'm bleedin' like a heartache

Get ready to break

And then on down the road

Comes another mistake

Try hard as I might

I can't quite get it right

I'm bummin'

Broken downtown down on Wedgewood & 8th

Yeah, I'm bleedin' like a heartache

Get ready to break

I've been burnin' in the sun

And I'm barely awake

Try hard as I might

I can't quite get it right

I'm bummin'

I'm bummin'

I can't afford this bummin', no

I can't afford this bummin', no

I can't afford this bummin', no

I can't afford this bummin', no

So take this life You gave me

Save me from my vices, oh

I can't afford this bummin', no

I'm in a crisis, oh

So take this life You gave me

Save me from my vices

I'm bummin'

I'm bummin'

Broken downtown down on Wedgewood & 8th

Yeah, I'm bleedin' like a heartache

Get ready to break

And then on down the road

Comes another mistake

Try hard as I might

I can't quite get it right

I'm bummin'

(I can't afford this bummin', no

I'm in a crisis, oh)

I'm bummin'

(So take this life you gave me

Save me from my vices)
