Since I was born I've heard the voice of the father
goes in the one ear, on out the other
Hit me baby, show me the floor
I was Cassidy's gun and she was his daughter
And I was the country, we were young and I was water
I was rum
I don't let her round the thompson
no more for she wanna go back to that sky-high mother
I'm back in Trastevere dancing the seven hills
cutting my brother's neck grabbing the dollar bills
The day the cowboy cried
and I gave up on love and you gave up on light
and so began my second life

And honey I'm leaving everything behind
Caesar's old roads are gettin out of my mind
Now I'm burning up the night, rolling up the pieces of my
Rolling up the pieces of my life
Used to tear em up, I used to cut it down
Double it back I'm turning around, I'm goin home

It ain't easy livin on my own A cowboy with a one track mind
It ain't easy livin all alone
He drank a cup of the devil's moonshine
And I saw the dead come alive Allulah no anna see ray yah
What I saw could make a dead man cry, I'm goin home

Losing love, my baby's leaving town
Said my honey's flying high above and never coming down
Oh and I'm sorry for my stealing hands
the way they take it all
Oh hi oh dee rama no lie
I was hypnotized by the great wall
you know you know you know you know

I used to cut em up
I used to tear it down
I coulda been the king of this town but I'm going home

It ain't easy livin on my own A good heart and a wicked mind
It ain't easy living all alone A good man
and the devil's shoeshine
Oh I saw the dead come back to life
Allulah no anna see ray yah
What I saw could make a dead man die, I'm goin home

Hit me, hit me, hit me, come on, come on
hit me, hit me motherfucker
