| Since I was born I've heard the voice of the father |
| Goes in the one ear, on out the other |
| Hit me baby, show me the floor |
| I was Cassidy's gun and she was his daughter |
| And I was the country |
| When we were young |
| And I was water, I was rum |
| I don't let her round the Thompson no more for |
| She wanna go back to that sky-high mother |
| I'm back in Trastevere dancing the seven hills |
| Cutting my brother's neck, grabbing the dollar bills |
| The day the cowboy cried and I gave up on love |
| And you gave up on light, and so began my second life |
| And honey I'm leaving everything behind |
| Caesar's old roads are gettin' out of my mind |
| Now I'm burning up the night |
| Rolling up the pieces of my- |
| Rolling up the pieces of my life |
|
| Used to tear 'em up (Woo-oh-oh-oh) |
| I used to cut it down (Woo-oh-oh-oh) |
| Double it back I'm turning around |
| Oh, I'm goin' home |
|
| It ain't easy livin' on my own |
| (A cowboy with a one track mind) |
| It ain't easy livin' all alone |
| (He drank a cup of the devil's moonshine) |
| And I saw the dead come alive |
| (Allulah no anna see ray yah) |
| What I saw could make a dead man cry |
| I'm goin' home |
|
| Losing love, my baby's leaving town |
| Said my honey's flying high above |
| And never coming down |
| Oh, and I'm sorry for my stealing hands |
| The way they take it all |
| Oh-hi-oh dee rama no lie |
| I was hypnotized by the great wall |
| You know, you know, you know, you know |
|
| I used to cut em up |
| I used to tear it down |
| I coulda been the king of this town but I'm going home |
|
| It ain't easy livin' on my own |
| (A good heart and a wicked mind) |
| It ain't easy livin' all alone |
| (A good man and the devil's shoeshine) |
| Oh, I saw the dead come back to life |
| (Allulah no anna see ray yah) |
| What I saw could make a dead man die |
| I'm goin' home |
|
| Hit me |
| Hit me |
| Hit me |
| Hit me, come on, come on |
| Hit me |
| Hit me motherfucker |
