Washed up on river, like a man without a name
Burned all my money, pouring whiskey on the flames
Gonna get back on the plow, before they put me in the ground
Thought I found the answer, in someone I could trust
Wound up in the desert, with a pocket full of dust
Coming down for way too long, tell me why I’m holding on
Before I fall into pieces
Before I’m swept up off the floor
Why don’t you give me one good reason
I can’t find one anymore
I hear the dogs a’ barking, right behind my heels
Lost on the highway, salvation on the wheel
Gonna shake the devil loose, time has come to face the truth
Before I fall into pieces
Before I’m swept up off the floor
Why don’t you give me one good reason
I can’t find one anymore
Woke up this morning, on the wrong side of town
Gonna need a hammer, just to lay my body down
Tear the nails right off the cross, tell the lord I’m jumping off
Before I fall into pieces
Before I’m swept up off the floor
Why don’t you give me one good reason
I can’t find one anymore
Before I fall into pieces
Before I’m swept up off the floor
Why don’t you give me one good reason
I can’t find one anymore
