Well, I found him in Pensacola
In a trailer in the sand
The man from the picture
Creased and yellowed in my hand
Creased and yellowed in my hand
He was squinting and stubbled
And standing in the door
He said, "If you've come to take the car away
I don't have it anymore
I don't have it anymore"
He got the gospel on the radio
And the gospel on TV
He got all of the transcripts
Back to 1963
Back to 1963
He said, "I sold my blood for money
There wasn't any pain
But I just can't stand the feeling
It's in someone else's veins
It's in someone else's veins"
Momma took me aside
And she tried to change my mind
She said, "Don't waste your time in looking
There's nothing, nothing left to find
Nothing, nothing left to find"
So I left him in Pensacola
In a trailer in the sand
The man from the picture
Creased and yellowed in my hand
Creased and yellowed in my hand
Roll
Oh, pride is not a sin
And that's why I have gone
On down to Wal-Mart with
My checkbook just to get you some [Incomprehensible]
Like waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Like waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Then I know you must've realized by now
Then I know you must've realized by now
By the lawn chairs there
Next to the racks of guns
Your self esteem is waiting
Canned up in aluminum
Like waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Like waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Then I know you must've realized by now
Then I know you must've realized by now
Like waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Like waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Like waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Then I know you must've realized by now
Then I know you must've realized by now
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Like waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Like waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Waves in which you drown me, shouting
Then I know
Now I have a nagging flaw I never saw it sneaking up
It wrapped it's dirty arms around me
Pockets full of blood
After I had seen the sight I hardly had a choice to fight
A nail snuck out behind the van and it hit me
Through my sweater and my shirt
And when I looked at Michael he heard "I need to be alone"
But when he turned his head I soon corrected "Need to be at home"
It took me all this time to get where I said I would never be
I hope it's not even out there
I hope eventually you'll see what you've been turning me into
It's all for you
It feels like 37 years and I am nothing but a bank
If we could build our credit score "Incredible," they'll surely say
But I can credit only one to focus all the fame
It has the first and last even the middle of my very name
I am the greatest man that never lived and now I never sleep
I never lost a fight but never knew I started one the same
I never knew how capable I would become
I'm tired of talking to a wall when I could talk to someone else
It's got seven days without a word
And you're with someone somewhere else
My daughter, she barely eats
She barely sleeps
She barely speaks
My daughter, she barely eats
She barely sleeps
She barely speaks to me
(To me, to me)
We spent the most of nights defending fights you fought in the past
But it was different now and I'm entirely too drunk to ask
(To me, to me)
You spend most every day enjoying the sun and hoping it lasts
(To me, to me)
I have a funny gut and feeling doubtful you'll get it back
(To me, to me)
I have a funny gut and feeling doubtful you'll get it back
Keep holding the days that time's stolen with you.
The funny, sad dumb things that you'd do, mistakes and bad tattoos.
And we'd burn ablaze through the streets of this maze getting lost.
You'd make me laugh 'til dawn broke,
I got the not that you wrote.
A shot, you flew.
I'm hoping that you're not a shadow of the girl that I once knew,
Because the world turns perfect faces black and blue.
Keep holding the days that time's stolen with you.
The funny, sad dumb things that you'd do, mistakes and bad tattoos.
And we'd burn ablaze through the streets of this maze getting lost.
And finding holes to fall through,
I wonder where you've gone to.
Take me on the trip man I'll never get sick.
Take me wherever you go and I won't complain along the way.
Well, I've been waiting so long to say bye bye bye.
This town ain't gave me nothing but a bald head and trouble.
Well, if it can't be better if it can't be tried.
Doesn't matter much boy and I will dry my eyes.
Well, I could be your boyfriend though I could be your shame.
Until I see your eyes in the beltway (?), babe.
Let's go.
Hey, I came from the delta down to the plains.
Well, I came round from the delta right through the plains.
Right through the plains, right through the plains.
Right through the plains, right through the plains.
Well, I came from the delta down to the plains.
When I got back home there was nothing unarranged.
The woman that I love took another man.
When nothing ever ends up quite like what you planned.
They took me to the central station and I jumped on board of that bus the long way.
Time to take my trip; give me that ticket, man.
Call me Romance, call me Pensacola
Call me Romance, call me Louisiana.
Feel like I'm standin' here
Quiet, can't measure the crowd
Awake and breathin'
Need you now (need you now).
Call me Romance, call me Pensacola
Reserved for our sense, I'm gladly bound forever.
Take all the tired
Livin' out their days in the water
Not like the legend
Need you now (need you now).
Need you now
Need you now, now
Need you now, now.
I'll tell you one thing
One thing and one thing sound
All in a million
Need you now (need you now).
Need you now
Need you now, now
Need you now, now.
