All thumbs and lost, my armor still shines
The arrows are pulled from the quill
I'm the cavalier rake on the back of a mare
Saddled with hard luck and ill
I'd give up my crown, for a drop of your blood
Sanguine and pitiless too
Well maybe I've had, a little too much
But I'll never forget about you
You can drive me to drink, I'll give you the keys
And I'll chart a path to the sea
There's only one bridge, that I've never burned
Only one name I carved in the tree
Can we meet by the bar, on old Beard Street
In my pocket a kerchief of blue
If I step to the plate, I'll stumble and fall
But I'll never forget about you
I've been to New Orleans and I've kissed the cod
I've walked through the valley like I'm Johnny Wadd
And now every morning, well I've got the shakes
Down and out in the city of saints
Saved by the hallowed, in the father of waters
Blink, and you'll miss the whole scene
By grace and redemption, brim to the dregs
Heading home, six whiskeys deep
Well the trip isn't long, I was lost several times
But I'm more than just bender and bone
Well I'm tired, I'm sinking, the boat's run ashore
Between wind and water I'll go
Ya I'll sit with the spook, who bet on the flush
I'll fall on his sword for you too
All shitfaced at best, I'll spare you the rest
But I'll never forget about you
