Hellbender - Billy Strings

In the cold early mornin', in the hills of Kentucky

I awoke to the sound of the rain

And the girl from last evenin', laid silently sleepin'

No I could not remember her name

Oh the sweat poured around me, my head was so cloudy (?)

And the faucet that she left on high

With a chip on my shoulder, I’m another day older

And I swear I could break down and cry

I never once made a dollar, which I didn’t gamble

Or scramble to burn at both ends

I’ve raged all night long, in the hour before dawn

On spirits, spittrs, and (?)

Whats left of my day might be crimson or grey

But nver again black and white

With a chip on my shoulder, I’m another day older

And I swear I could break down and cry

I’m a fool with my money, and I’m a fool with my drinkin'

I’m sinkin' to the bottom of the well

Addin' fuel to the fire, like my wildest desire

Is to spend the next lifetime in Hell

I could cruise down to Hades, in a snow-white Mercedes

With a devilish look in my eye

With a chip on my shoulder, I’m another day older

And I swear I could break down and cry

And the weeks like this, I drink like a fish

And occasionally eat like a bird

And I’m not well done (?), just a shootin' my second

And I’m already shootin' the third

There’s a worm in the bottle, and I’m racin' full throttle

He’ll only go down when it’s dry

With a chip on my shoulder, I’m another day older

And I swear I could break down and cry

I’ll keep on this way, till my dyin' day

It’s a blessing I’ve tried to disguise

With a chip on my shoulder, I’m another day older

And I swear I could break down and cry
