Chalkboard
My name is Billy...the same as my dad I watch the sun come up and watch the sun go down medals on the mantle...morphine in the drawer they fight each other while I lay down and drown My wife will hold me...when I start to shake never asking what I see in my head got a roof that don't leak...screen on the door food in the kitchen...love in the bed make me a chalkboard and wipe me clean from all the things that I've seen feel free to erase the young lines carved into my face Used to have lots of friends...from all sides now I pretty much keep to myself I scan the papers...and the TV news always looking for somebody else oh Lord deliver me...from those who call on you your name 'bout scares me to death if you come when I'm sleeping...use some common sense and kindly wait until I can catch my breath make me a chalkboard and wipe me clean Letras de cancionesfrom all the things that I've seen feel free to erase the young lines carved into my face Got myself a little girl....she's always with me making up rhymes in her 3 year old head I got sent to Mosul...and I saw her there held her in my arms...but she was already dead make me a chalkboard and wipe me clean from all the things that I've seen feel free to erase the young lines carved into my face From Letras Mania
