If It Don’t Bleed

Looking back down the road from a little ways out I never had a fear and I never had a doubt If I had a lick of sense I'd have figured that out pretty fast But I wasn't any smarter than the average kid Somebody mighta noticed But I never did I never saw the future fading right into the past Talking to the wallpaper Wandering the halls I burned a lot of bridges and I dropped a lot of balls It's a wonder I can ever go back to any place I've been But I wouldn't get down on my knees on a bet I'm near enough to Jesus as I'd ever want to get Seeking salvation ain't part of my general plan Save your prayers for yourself Raise my glass to your health I don't mind if you don't look like me I can share my bread and wine I come from another time It don't matter all that much if it don't bleed If it don't bleed Now it's all I can do to just get out of bed There's more in the mirror than there is up ahead I smile and I nod like I heard what you said every time So run another rack Pour another shot You don't get it back so give it all you got While you still got a more or less functional body and mind Save your prayers for yourself Raise my glass to your health I don't mind if you don't look like me I can share my bread and wine I come from another time It don't matter all that much if it don't bleed If it don't bleed I learned to answer my calls and open my mail I paid my taxes and I stayed out of jail You stay in the game when you're too broke to fail That's a fact Talking to the wallpaper sleeping in the hall Your bones get brittle so you better not fall You slow to a crawl Time gets to balling the jack Run you right off the track Save your prayers for yourself Raise my glass to your health I don't mind - if you don't talk like me I can share my bread and wine I come from another time It don't matter all that much if it don't bleed If it don't bleed If it don't bleed If it don't bleed If it don't bleed
