Well I’m a man
And I’ve been trying my hand
Doing the best that I can to keep getting by
But I fell along. Though my closets got bones
With only half of them known, well they’re spilling out

So please take these chains, take my heart
Spit and sand are going to fall apart
And I can’t stand to be holding cards when the lights go out
I need to rock, need to roll
I godda be and godda go
I can’t see where the light is shown without a little help
So please take my hell

Well I’ve got a son
And after all that I’ve done
I probably should have been shunned
But I’m standing tall
He used to say “Daddy why don’t you pray”
And though my spirits been frayed, I’m pulling through

So please take these chains, take my heart
Spit and sand are going to fall apart
And I can’t stand to be holding cards when the lights go out
I need to rock, need to roll
I godda be and godda go
I can’t see where the light is shown without a little help
So please take my hell

Well I see the road
But the line that I tole
Makes it harder to go where I gotta be
So I trudge along
And through the words of a song
Try not to get em all wrong
And i’m trying hard

So please take these chains, take my heart
Spit and sand are going to fall apart
And I can’t stand to be holding cards when the lights go out
I need to rock, need to roll
I godda be and godda go
I can’t see where the light is shown without a little help
So please take my hell
