For

Are

Should
I make my way out of my home in the woods

Broken

From
the end of the world to your town
[SAME CHORDS AS 3RD VERS (BROWN DIRT COWBOY....)]
And all this talk of
jesus coming back to see us
Couldn’t fool us
For we were spinning out
our lines walking on the wire
Hand in hand went music and the rhyme
The
captain and the kid stepping in the ring
From here on sonny sonny sonny,
it’s a long and lonely climb
