It was sunday mornin' and I found myself alone
I took me a shovel and I dug myself a hole

At times I thought that I would die
But I left those days somewhere behind
There's only so much a man can take
Before he knows
He knows he's gonna break

Cuz a man's gotta take what he can take
When he's got one foot down in the grave
You never know where the road is gonna end
Sometimes I think this bird
This bird's my only friend

I murdered my past life and I covered up its bones
I gathered my possessions and I took out on the road

There's been nights I drank myself to sleep
I lay my head on nails with bottles at my feet
When I awoke I thought I was free
But there he'd be
That bird that follows me

A man ain't meant to be alone
With demons scratching at his soul
If I had wings I'd probably fly
If I had tears I know
I'd probably cry
