lyrics

Listen to my words I wrote down with you in mind.
I've been blessed with the wit to make this seem less painful.

I will never fall for any of your plans,
and I'm not going home,
until you've heard all that I have to say.
And I am more than just a man with my guitar,
playing these songs by heart,
Put your God away and save yourself.

I'm not easily swayed by all your propaganda.
And you'll soon realize that prayer and liquor just don't pay the bills.

I will never fall for any of your plans,
and I'm not going home
until I've played another verse and bridge.
And I am more than just a drunk with my guitar
trying to hit it big.
Put your God away and save yourself.

And I will never fall for any of your plans.
I think I'll go home as soon as I have finished all my beer.
And I am more than just a mark with a cheap tab,
waiting for ride home.
Put your God away and save yourself.
