Tall and Mighty

Feelin' so low, downright mean Trying to live up to some honky tonk dream Wondering if three chords and the truth Still mean the same to me Well I'm feelin' kind of lucky and also damn strange Been all around the world for some small piece of change Singin' my heart out at some shitty bar Hawkin' on my old guitar Whoever thought that I would take it this far? Some days you're gonna feel real fine On top of the world, on cloud nine Can't nobody touch you when you're after your piece of the pie Other days you won't feel alright Other days you wanna break down and cry Blow up in smoke like some ol' pipeline, like teargas in the sky You can't stand tall and mighty all the time Now everything's not as bad as it seems Most of my friends are on methamphetamines Trying to raise babies in this cold world Wondering what could have been Yeah they're puttin' in the hours on a river barge Pushing some freight past a gravel bar Trying to make the best of what's been handed to them Still wondering what could have been Yeah, they're trying to start all over again Some days you're gonna feel real fine On top of the world, on cloud nine Can't nobody touch you when you're after your piece of the pie Other days you won't feel alright Other days you wanna break down and cry Blow up in smoke like some ol' pipeline, like teargas in the sky You can't stand tall and mighty all the time Tall and mighty all the time Tall and mighty all the time And everything's gonna be alright Everything's gonna be alright You just can't stand tall and mighty all the time
