carl lorusso jr. - six ton burden blues lyrics

[verse 1]
well i’m bad at breaking habits, & i’m worse at making change
every time i count them those coins all look the same
time’s taken the dates, the colours dull and faded
there’s a thick layer of rust, that’s forming ‘round the face
my memory is shined, all i remember is the wine
at the mercy of sober thought but i didn’t pay no mind
that first morning train comes rumbling down the line
the light takes the horizon like a fire in the falltime

[chorus 1]
six ton burden, got mе on my knees
honey i’ve got the bourbon if you’rе drinking with me
you got to take me to the river, and remember me how to pray
or take me back to town and remind me why i came
see i’ve been shaping life into a dead mans shoes
with a shine on my knife and all my other murder tools
now the crowd is getting surly, the band is leaving early
and i’m hardly standing st+rdy
with these six ton burden blues
[verse 2]
if this bad weather is a punishment then i don’t mind the curse
i like to sit in the window sill and watch it get worse
all that’s left on these mornings are empty bottles and words
and the stale smell of cigarettes two hours past burnt
my clothes smell of good death and my mind feels like dirt
the vinyl record’s still spinning and i’m a day late for work

[chorus 2]
six ton burden, got me on my knees
honey i’ve got the bourbon if you’re drinking with me
you got to take me to the river, and remember me how to pray
or take me back to town and remind me why i came
see i’ve been shaping life into a dead mans shoes
with a shine on my knife and all my other murder tools
now the pitcher is dead, and the bases are drunk
it’ll take the whole team to stand me up
six ton burden blues

[bridge]
the blues and greys have a certain kind of taste, and life goes to waste on these ordinary days
the red starts to burn like a maniacal rage, you could trace my steps to the corner of the cage

[chorus 3]
six ton burden, got me on my knees
honey i’ve got the bourbon if you’re drinking with me
you got to take me to the river, and remember me how to pray
or take me back to town and remind me why i came
see i’ve been shaping life into a dead mans shoes
with a shine on my knife and all my other murder tools
i’m losing and i’m learning, i’m drowning and i’m burning
there’s nothing here for certain
lord these six ton burden blues
