Smoking Gun Lyrics - Bring Up The Sun - Sundy Best

The verdict's out on this here town 

I like to drink my inhibitions down 

I've done all I can to deserve 

This thorny crown 

And this ornery reputation 

That I'll never live down 

I can't rewrite all the words 

That have stepped foot on my tongue 

And I won't tell a thousand tales 

Of how I'm different from anyone 

You can fire all your bullets 

Till what's left is an empty gun 

Because I can't do one damn thing 

To change the road that I've run 

I come from a long line of lovers 

A long line of saints 

But it skipped a generation 

And I'm fine with all I ain't 

But the tears that I've caused 

Try to scare life away 

And I've never been strong enough 

To break my heart to strength 

I can't rewrite all the words 

That have stepped foot on my tongue 

And I won't tell a thousand tales 

Of how I'm different from anyone 

You can fire all your bullets 

Till what's left is an empty gun 

Because I can't do one damn thing 

To change the road that I've run 

There are worse things that I could be 

Like if I were anything less 

Than the wreck that's me 

I can't rewrite all the words 

That have stepped foot on my tongue 

And I won't tell a thousand tales 

Of how I'm different from anyone 

You can fire all your bullets 

Till what's left is an empty gun 

Because I can't do one damn thing 

To change the road that I've run
