I Swear (To God)

I only had a couple drinks last night

And few good hits from an antler pipe

And I must admit, I had a few white lines

And I don't know what all happened

I woke up in the noon time light

With a poundin' head, shiner on my eye

And I don't know how and I don't why

But it feels like fierce abandon

Ah, working on a buildin' out'a hand-hewn brimstone

Workin' on a buildin' and I'm buildin' on it all alone

Well there ain't nobody in my room tonight

Goodnight honey, honey sleep tight

Ma I swear I'm doing alright

But when the evenin' comes around

I swear to God

Pay no mind to the words I say

Cause they ain't no count anyway

I been ramblin' around and led astray

By the paths that I been choosin'

Cuttin' paths like a forest fire

Pupils wider than backhoe tires

Throwin' my money on a funeral pyre

But it sure feels good abusin'

Ah, working on a buildin' out'a hand-hewn brimstone

Workin' on a buildin' and I'm buildin' on it all alone

Well there ain't nobody in my room tonight

Goodnight honey, honey sleep tight

Ma I swear I'm doing alright

But when the evenin' comes around

I swear to God

Bands too loud for their Bible thumpin'

Feels too good to not count for somethin'

Big Sandy rock, Sludge River roll

Goddamn, fire in the hole

Look out baby, I'm bound to blow

I'm bound to blow a gasket

Damn good gig, good damn crowd

Good God, for cryin' out loud

Coming off stage I was mighty proud

Then I don't know what all happened

Ah, working on a buildin' out'a hand-hewn brimstone

Workin' on a buildin' and I'm buildin' on it all alone

Well there ain't nobody in my room tonight

Goodnight honey, honey sleep tight

Ma I swear I'm doing alright

But when the evenin' comes around

I swear to God

I swear to God
