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 livin' on what's in the tip jar
Burn out like a neon bulb
I might be nothin' but my old mans son
Or the best damn thing there never was

(chorus)
Well I keep on singin' what I know between a minor and a major
I keep pourin' out the bittersweet even if it ain't the latest flavor
Little bit of devil, little bit of savior
Whole lotta life cuttin' 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 makin' me a deal like I had me a for sale sign hangin' 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 boot heel on my neck, so

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

(chorus)
Keep on singin' what I know between a minor and a major
I keep pourin' out the bittersweet even if it ain't the latest flavor
Runnin' with the devil, walkin' with the savior
Whole lotta life cuttin' like a razor
With some blue ink, a blank page and a old six string
I bleed on paper

Yeah I bleed on paper
