Lyrics Hellbender - Billy Strings

Hellbender

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
