Hammer And The Nail

Mama told me Daddy ran away with the circus I guess it musta been the greatest show on earth Preacher told me hell's full of them that deserve it Good news and bad, son, which one ya want first Sometimes you're the hammer Sometimes you're the nail Like my Daddy before me This is where the apple fell Beatin the odds and comin up roses Ain't my story to tell The whole world swings the hammer And I'm the nail Trouble seems to find me like it ain't even trying Eye in the sky got my name in a file Cop said, "son, what the hell are you thinkin" Judge said, "boy, you're goin away for a while" Sometimes you're the hammer Sometimes you're the nail Like my Daddy before me This is where the apple fell Beatin the odds and comin up roses Ain't my story to tell The whole world swings the hammer And I'm the nail Sometimes you're the hammer Sometimes you're the nail Like my Daddy before me This is where the apple fell Beatin the odds and comin up roses Ain't my story to tell The whole world swings the hammer And I'm the nail
