I Bleed On Paper

May never be what you call a rockstar
It's cool if I don't get there
I'll die just settling with a guitar
Johnny Cash, middle finger in the air
Make a living on what's in the tip jar
Burn out like a neon bulb
I might be nothing but my old mans son
Or the best damn thing there never was

Well, I keep on singing what I know between a minor and a major
I keep pouring out the bittersweet even if it ain't the latest flavor
Little bit of devil, little bit of savior
Whole lotta life cutting like a razor
With some blue ink, a blank page and a old six string
I bleed on paper

Yeah, I met a man at the crossroads
Suit and tie with a smile like gold
Tried making me a deal like I had me a for sale sign hanging on my soul
Yeah, all I had to do was change my tunes
I coulda cashed that check
But I don't like the feel of a rattlesnake blue heel on my next song

I keep on singing what I know between a minor and a major
I keep pouring out the bittersweet even if it ain't the latest flavor
Little bit of devil, little bit of savior
Whole lotta life cutting like a razor
With some blue ink, a blank page and a old six string
I bleed on paper

Pouring out my heart and showing my scars
Yeah, that's the part that heals me
Chasing one more song that cuts to the bone
Even if it kills me

Keep on singing what I know between a minor and a major
I keep pouring out the bittersweet even if it ain't the latest flavor
Running with the devil, walking with the savior
Whole lotta life cutting like a razor
With some blue ink, a blank page and a old six string
I bleed on paper

Yeah, I bleed on paper
