lyrics

man that was a rough one
to recover from
face down in the dirt
that's what I heard
from across the water
of a puddle

oh that was a rough thing
was no bee sting
I got back to the world
ripped out the burrs
and moved on from chilling
in the nettle
stinging

when I emerged in the parking lot
I hopped barefoot
on the hot blacktop
it’s a dance we all do
don’t you lie

I got stung
got it wrong
bet my life
on a dumb song
it makes me laugh
it makes me cry

man that was a close call
nearly lost it all
sharp shot from afar
got in my car
tore holes in the
damn thing running

you were only seconds left
on the home stretch
to myself I said
as summer fled
and fall fell down
cool and sudden

when I awoke
from a deep doze
I was old clothes and
a beer jones
singing in a dead mic
ringing in the new year
2 years late

it felt right
to get it wrong
bet my life
on dumb song
kickin' up the gravel
in the shadow
of a wave

man that was a rough one to recover from
face down in the dirt
thats what I heard
from across the craters and the rubble

what a rough break
like an earthquake
a bad trip to the edge
a crack to the head
hold on hangover
in the nettle

when I came to
there were no tears
just a bone pile and a snake peel
vision of a red barn
lickin' flames
and danger lights

I said oh no
long gone
bet my life
on a dumb song
it makes me laugh
it makes me cry
