Likes of Me

She's cold to the heart and a man's high praise

Bound to shoot you down in the end

Can't hold her or her restless heart

Much less her ringless hand

And with the lightning striking up above and the rain falling in my hair

I've seen her footsteps walk right over the falling of a million tears

Now I'm hollering out the gospel

Between the ringing of the bronze

Hoping I can move a mountain

With the warble of my songs

But there's one thing you and I know best

And you can't help to be that way

It's to leave me empty-handed

With a thousand words to say

And you could hold your own with the devil

Hell you could probably even call him family

Then you light up the flame of a mighty downfall

And you can make it out alive without the likes of me

Now if it were easy bettin'

On a way to play your heart

Then I wouldn't be all strung out

To dry in the yard

And I turn my face away from yours

As you fool another man

Then give him the thought, that all the drinks he bought you

They didn't mean a damn

And you could hold your own with the devil

Hell you could probably even call him family

Then you light up the flame of a mighty downfall

And you can make it out alive without the likes of me

And you could make it out alive without the likes of me

And you could hold your own with the devil

Hell you could probably even call him family

Then you light up the flame of a mighty downfall

And you can make it out alive without the likes of me

Said you could make it out alive without the likes of me
