lyrics

I may be the last man alive
Who failed to be on his own good side
Flooded by his rising tide
While basking in the pale moon shine

Running wild in bush and tree
Bird in hand and still hunting
The two that hide, oh how they sing
The one in hand, oh how it stings

I fought for you a one man civil war
Oh keep me now, my Mason-Dixie girl

I'm swift river set to make my turn round the bend
I don't have to lose my head to fly off of the deep end
That's how I fall for you

Show me pauper show me king
Man is man and man is nothing
But a lover waiting to believe
A man has to believe in something

Without God there's only Hell
Prophets write and readers dwell
So I built a house and I dug a well
That's one hell of a story to tell

I'm dying now but not counting down
I'm living on the wrong side of town
I'm a waiting lover, flesh by the pound
I'm waking wide and I'm villain proud
