Lyrics
i'm like the coffee i drink
i am diluted and weak
life has been bitter and never that sweet
but i'm always thinking she'll make it back to me
i tell people i'm gonna change
i tell them i'm safe from the danger now
but it's my own fault we are strangers now
nobody's seen all the things i've seen
i take it black and watered down
my lies intact, my truth knocked down
i'll watch my back, i'll guard my crown
i won't come back to this broken delta town
iron-clad feet to the dirt
i needed a job and they gave me some work
this steel burns like hellfire and shines like the sun
it sticks to your hands when the day is done
the delta's a hard place to be
the sun burns like hell and there ain't no relief
you work, and you drink, and you fight, and you sleep
you wake up at five and it all repeats
i take it black and watered down
my lies intact, my truth knocked down
i'll watch my back, i'll guard my crown
i won't come back to this broken delta town
