I sang the blessed blues beneath the reddest sun
I’ve played the guitar ‘side my best of friends
Oh and that’s when I’m happiest
When my heart feels free
I’ve sat for so long I’ve forgotten how to walk
I’ve slept in shacks wherein the walls just crawl
Oh and I’ve read the good word
But I sure as hell ain’t a saint
I’ve been pushed and pulled
All I want to do is live with you
I’ve played with hearts until my own broke free
I’ve danced with whiskey with an ace right up my sleeve
But I’ve been dreamin’ of that steel horse in the cold black night
I’ve been pushed and pulled
All I want to do is live with you
Momma said swing to the fences
Momma said live alive, live with love
I’ve worked these hands bled red into the land
I’ve ran from love towards home sweet home
But I’ll keep moving day or night, rain or shine
I’ve been pushed and pulled
All I want to do is live with you
Momma said swing to the fences
Momma said live alive, live with love
