Learnin' to Drown

[00:48.67] Well, I been sleepin' in my car
[00:53.51] Been movin' fast
[00:55.32] But it seems I ain't gone far
[00:57.64] And I can't believe
[01:00.54] Aw, what I am
[01:02.01] And what I used to be
[01:08.95] I'm barely a man and livin' hard
[01:13.18] My father killed himself
[01:15.83] And my mother hit the bar
[01:17.96] Well, ain't it funny?
[01:21.05] Ain't it funny how
[01:22.69] The world'll set you free?
[01:29.22] I spent my whole life wonderin' why I'm down
[01:34.46] I don't feel easy if the blues don't come around
[01:38.47] And my face don't look right without a frown
[01:43.75] Well, if you can't swim, you better learn to drown
[01:52.46] Well, I been stealin' all my meals
[01:57.20] I been gettin' by
[01:59.07] Every time the well runs dry
[02:01.33] I tell myself
[02:04.00] If it don't kill me
[02:05.67] Then I guess I'll never die
[02:12.95] Well, I been actin' like a mule
[02:17.02] 'Cause I'd rather hear you laugh
[02:19.60] Than to be here with my mind
[02:21.75] And all my thoughts
[02:24.61] Well, I guess I'll always be the laughin' fool
[02:33.47] I spent my whole life wonderin' why I'm down
[02:38.31] I don't feel easy if the blues don't come around
[02:42.46] And my face don't look right without a frown
[02:47.18] Well, if you can't swim, you better learn to drown
[02:52.16]
[03:14.99] Well, I thought about closin' the door
[03:19.97] And endin' it all
[03:21.50] Like my father did before
[03:24.03] But it ain't worth
[03:26.91] All the people who won't see me anymore
[03:35.41] Well, there ain't much that lasts too long
[03:39.68] All the rights that I took wrong
[03:42.20] All the lefts that still ain't gone
[03:44.45] They will be here
[03:48.35] Here in my sad bastard song
[03:55.95] I spent my whole life wonderin' why I'm down
[04:00.95] I don't feel easy if the blues don't come around
[04:05.08] And my face don't look right without a frown
[04:10.42] Well, if you can't swim, you better learn to drown
[04:14.62]
