Pocket Of Gold

(الألبوم: Deadeye - 2016)

She said a war ain't a war before both sides bleed
I got arms like a rope and a belly like an old oak tree
I was looking for a dry home where I could outgrow once the bed don't fit no more

I told my lover it's a long night hurry if you're running with me
And if the favor of her heart was caution then her eyes never pinned it to me
If every dollar I owned was all that she stole I could have sold my heart for a pocket of gold
I could have been a well kept man but it isn't so

Ohh whoa
I need an untamed woman with a sharp tongue
Well go on son, go and try to get you one
One that says "oh you should know
I'll haunt you like a goddamn ghost"

I said I never knew the moral but I guess that's how the story goes
My lovers never been a mirror in the hour that I needed it most
Spent all this time choking truth for lies when all the [?] in a six foot hole

I could have been a well kept man
You know I could have been a well kept man
I could have been a well kept man but it isn't so
