Blue Bastard

Stand tough when the trouble begins

Walk tall in the city of sin

Ain't no one gonna watch your back

Stop and stare as they sneak attack

Cold metal in the dead of night

Trying to take your soul but you gotta fight

40 Nights and 40 days

Can hardly see through this pouring rain

I cannot clear my brain from this haze

I awoke again in searing pain

One bottle to save us through this train wreck

Drinking to ease the pain away

I need you to carry me back home

One bottle to get us through this night, alright

North to south and east to west

Can't stop this bastard in contempt with no rest

People screaming where we gotta go

And robbed blind in the center of Rome

You got no idea how it feels to be beat

Up, pushed down and second hand sold

Found the girl that leads us astray

And London's burning and igniting in its way

My mind ablaze and all I think about is where we went wrong

One bottle to save us through this train wreck

Drinking to ease the pain away

I need you to carry me back home

One bottle to get us through this night, alright

We passed the desert into the sun

Drove the bastard like a loaded gun

From the mountains and northern lights

Dead walk alone in these street fights

When it's over blood and pain

Settles in you're just back to work again

Dreams and memories they all fade

I can't hardly remember their names

Even though the scars remain

I cannot wait to hit the road again

One bottle to save us through this train wreck

Drinking to ease the pain away

I need you to carry me back home

One bottle to get us through this night, alright
