From the recording DARK HORSE
Lyrics
THORNS
HE KEPT A FIFTH OF JACK D UNDER THE SEAT. MY DADDY COULD’NT HAVE JUST ONE DRINK. THIS WILL BE MY LAST HE ALWAYS SWORE. I GUESS WE’VE ALL GOT OUR THORNS.
MY MOMMA HAD A THING FOR CIGARETTES. THE WRECKED HER HEART AND TOOK HER BREATH. SHE COULDN’T PUT EM’ DOWN THOUGH SHE’D BEEN WARNED. I GUESS WE’VE ALL GOT OUR THORNS.
CHORUS:
YOU’VE GOT YOURS AND I’VE GOT MINE. ONE AND ONE THEY’RE ALL THE SAME. SOME JUST FADE AWAY WITH TIME. SOME WE CARRY TO OUR GRAVE.
MY BROTHER NEVER CARED FOR ALCOHOL. IT WAS PRESCRIPTION PILLS AND FENTANYL. I LOST HIS LIFE ON THE BATHROOM FLOOR. I GUESS WE’VE ALL GOT OUR THORNS.
CHORUS
LIKE PAUL I PRAYED TO GOD THREE TIMES. BUT THE LORD NEVER GAVE ONE REPLY. NOW HERE I AM ON THE BEDROOM FLOOR. MY HANDS AND KNEES IN AN ALL OUT WAR. TRYING TO DEAL WITH THIS DAMN THORN.
