Lyrics to Tradesman
No one on this side of town
Knows a good place for a boy to drown
And look at me so strange when I talk
I wish I was a tradesman learnin' from some beat down old layman
On some hillside they ain't named yet
Sleepin' next to mountain fire smoke
And everyone lately's scarin' me
It's all backdoor deals and therapy
And the only callous I've grown's in my mind
I wish I was a tradesman playin' with some tuned up tired string band
Somewhere out by the badlands way past closin' time
So if you wanna trade I'd say it's a hard earned mile
Wanna sweat like hell, throw a hammer down
And know the old feelin' of a five o'clock smile
And know I didn't take no easy way out
If you wanna trade I'd say it's a hard earned mile
Wanna sweat like hell, throw a hammer down
And know the old feelin' of a five o'clock smile
And know I didn't take no easy way out
Knows a good place for a boy to drown
And look at me so strange when I talk
I wish I was a tradesman learnin' from some beat down old layman
On some hillside they ain't named yet
Sleepin' next to mountain fire smoke
And everyone lately's scarin' me
It's all backdoor deals and therapy
And the only callous I've grown's in my mind
I wish I was a tradesman playin' with some tuned up tired string band
Somewhere out by the badlands way past closin' time
So if you wanna trade I'd say it's a hard earned mile
Wanna sweat like hell, throw a hammer down
And know the old feelin' of a five o'clock smile
And know I didn't take no easy way out
If you wanna trade I'd say it's a hard earned mile
Wanna sweat like hell, throw a hammer down
And know the old feelin' of a five o'clock smile
And know I didn't take no easy way out
