Take My Hell

Well, I’m a man

And I’ve been trying my hand

Doing the best that I can

To keep getting by

But I fell along

And though my closet's got bones

With only half of them known

Well, they’re spilling out

So please take these chains, take my heart

Spit and sand are going to fall apart

And I can’t stand to be holding cards

When the lights go out

I need to rock, need to roll

I gotta be and gotta go

And I can’t see where the light is shone

Without a little help

So please take my hell

Well, I’ve got a son

And after all that I’ve done

I probably should have been shunned

But I’m standing tall

And he used to say

"Daddy, why don’t you pray?"

And though my spirit's been frayed

I’m pulling through

So please take these chains, take my heart

Spit and sand are going to fall apart

And I can’t stand to be holding cards

When the lights go out

I need to rock, need to roll

I gotta be and gotta go

And I can’t see where the light is shone

Without a little help

So please take my hell

Well, I see the road

But the line that I toe

It makes it harder to go

Where I oughta be

So I trudge along

And through the words of a song

Try not to get 'em all wrong

And I’m trying hard

So please take these chains, take my heart

Spit and sand are going to fall apart

And I can’t stand to be holding cards

When the lights go out

I need to rock, need to roll

I gotta be and gotta go

And I can’t see where the light is shone

Without a little help

So please take my hell
