lyrics
Throwing Rocks
Things had gotten rough, some days ago
Trade a crowded bed for a lonely floor,
Sippin’ bottles labeled whiskey, but who knows?
Stick a fork in us, but we ain’t done,
Fill the tank back up, band on the run
Gonna pop that bitch Miss Fortune in her nose…
So bet the farm, and take your shot
Bluff the cards, but don’t get caught
Desperate men got little left to lose
Well cast your stones, but make ‘em count
Make your ‘bones,’ we’ll bleed you out
And we’ll teach you what it’s like to sing the blues…
So this coat of arms is battle scarred,
But we’ll heat these hearts on warm guitars,
Now here we stand once more on solid ground
And we got here via hell and back
But most of us is still intact,
And it’ll take more man than ‘God’ to put us down…
Step up the line is drawn
Come earn your scars
Ante up, sit down, we’ll play for blood
You think you got me pegged
You got it wrong…dead wrong…
Things had gotten rough, some days ago
Trade a crowded bed for a lonely floor,
Sippin’ bottles labeled whiskey, but who knows?
Stick a fork in us, but we ain’t done,
Fill the tank back up, band on the run
Gonna pop that bitch Miss Fortune in her nose…
So bet the farm, and take your shot
Bluff the cards, but don’t get caught
Desperate men got little left to lose
Well cast your stones, but make ‘em count
Make your ‘bones,’ we’ll bleed you out
And we’ll teach you what it’s like to sing the blues…
So this coat of arms is battle scarred,
But we’ll heat these hearts on warm guitars,
Now here we stand once more on solid ground
And we got here via hell and back
But most of us is still intact,
And it’ll take more man than ‘God’ to put us down…
Step up the line is drawn
Come earn your scars
Ante up, sit down, we’ll play for blood
You think you got me pegged
You got it wrong…dead wrong…
