Plenty

(album: Sober & Godless - 2015)

Well I'm living with the mistakes I've made
'plenty more where I'm from'
I'm robbing peter so Paul gets paid
'plenty more where I'm from'
I've strayed so far from the open road
I've been places my shadow refused to go

I went to school but they called me slow
'plenty more where I'm from'
They couldn't teach me what I needed to know
'plenty more where I'm from'
My heart still breaks and my throat it swells
Like a dirty lump o' coal at the New Year bell's

A song of hope to lift my spirits if you please
Or a tale of old rebellion if you dare
I hope I live to see the day I laugh at days like these
And walk the walk of one without a care

I'll shift my loaf but I won't shift the blame
'plenty more where I'm from'
I respect my neighbour and expect the same
'plenty more where I'm from'
I've strayed so far from the open road
I've been places my shadow refused to go

And I don't trust what I can't see
'plenty more where I'm from'
But I believe in something higher than me
'plenty more where I'm from'
My heart still breaks and my throat it swells
Like a dirty lump o' coal at the New Year bell's
