lyrics

When you sent me packing down that Green River Valley,
I knew that if you couldn't then no one would have me.
I lost myself drinkin' with those stray dogs in the alleys
'til the whiskey soaked my bones.

The night it came on cold, blowing off that muddy river.
I felt so goddamned old I didn't have the strength to shiver.
The moon was swallowed whole and when the sky spit back that sliver
I knew I had to go it alone.

Love is free, so take all you can.
Just don't ask me to be the bigger man,
‘cause I'm all spent; yeah, you took all I had.
But living the good life made me bad.

Go on, chase that girl; go on, get that money.
Go on, break the world; I know you think it's full of honey.
Maybe someday I'll look back and think it's funny
how you always had to burn it down.
But right now in the ashes, choking on the smoke,
I find it hard to grasp this great big cosmic joke.
I'm squinting through the tears and years of lies and hope.
But I know you ain't comin' back around.

Love is free, so take all you can.
I won't ask you to be the bigger man,
‘cause you're all spent; you gave all you had.
But living the good life, brother, made you bad.

Devil below and God above,
take all your armies from my blood.
Show me what I'm really made of.
More than fear? More than love?

And set me free! I've done all I can.
Just don't ask me to be the bigger man,
‘cause I'm all spent; I gave all I could.
But living the bad life, brother, feels too good.
