Lyrics Lori McKenna

Lori McKenna

Cowardly Lion

Praise the neon lights

The store's not closed up yet

Now everything's alright

so get your cigarettes

Leave me with the house

Leave me with the kids

Leave me to myself

that's what you always did

I'm sleeping with the cowardly lion

Poison in your blood, freight train in your head

Someone's gonna fly

Someone will end up dead...

You threaten every day

So pack your bags and run

Train lines run all day

No matter moon or sun

I'm sleeping with the cowardly lion

Freight train in your head, poison in your blood

Someone's looking for a fight

Someone's looking for some love...

Blame it on the ones who hold you down

Blame it on the ones who let you drown

Smoke up your cigarettes from the corner store,

The cowardly lion's got one hell of a roar...

I'm sleeping with the cowardly lion

I am sleeping with the cowardly lion

Freight train in your head, poison in your blood

Someone's looking for a fight,

Somone's looking for some love...

For some love...
