It's What You Meant Songtext
I been doing all I can, I been wrestling with the man
From Texas to Montana and every dirty DA in the land
And I let some people down, Lord, how they hate me now
'Cause I wouldn't trade my peace for the keys to the underground
Oh, and now I wear these scars, showing how I got this far
And the bitter road ahead is as lonely as it's cursed
And it ain't what you said, it's what you meant that hurt
And I left a few for dead, the water overtook their head
From Texas to Montana and every dirty DA in the land
And I let some people down, Lord, how they hate me now
'Cause I wouldn't trade my peace for the keys to the underground
Oh, and now I wear these scars, showing how I got this far
And the bitter road ahead is as lonely as it's cursed
And it ain't what you said, it's what you meant that hurt
And I left a few for dead, the water overtook their head
And I made it to the shore, prayed to the Lord and softly wept
You can't save 'em all, even great men do fall
Now the only oath I keep is to God and kin and that woman's call
Oh, and now I wear these scars, showing how I got this far
And the bitter road ahead is as lonely as it's cursed
And it ain't what you said, it's what you meant that hurt
And it ain't what you said, it's what you meant that hurt
You can't save 'em all, even great men do fall
Now the only oath I keep is to God and kin and that woman's call
Oh, and now I wear these scars, showing how I got this far
And the bitter road ahead is as lonely as it's cursed
And it ain't what you said, it's what you meant that hurt
And it ain't what you said, it's what you meant that hurt
