Shawn Mullins - My Ship Lyrics
My ship up here is sinkin'But this is what i amAnd i'd tell you what i'm thinkin'If i thought you'd give a damnAnd i don't know a single one of youBut you feel like a winter's rainTell me would listen to the words i speakIf i knew you all by nameIt's niether here nor thereCause i still wake up in my hotel roomWith this smokey barroom in my clothes and hairEvery night is differentEvery night's the sameAin't if funny how each of usHas his own way to kill the painMakes me think of my friend jimmyWho never could behaveHe bought a gator skateboardWith the money that he savedHe rode that 4 wheeled sufrin' board aroundTill he was old enough to shaveThen it was replaced by a '69 lasabreHe'd putter off to scholAs fast as that thing would getAnd all the kids would sayHere comes jimmy in that beat up piece of shitHe used to take up 2 whole spacesIn the senior parking lotYea now jimmy's doin' seven yearsFor stickin' up a subway sandwhich shopSo crawl beneath your wordsSay whats on your mindTell it like it isDon't get stuck behindCause its the truth you know,That gets you byIt's not who or what you know,It's whySo straddle that old fencepostAnd fade it down to nothingAnd you'll seeYou might seeThat my ship up here is sinkin'But this is what i amAnd i'd tell you waht i'm thinkin'If i thought you gave a damnSo take this in or don'tI don't really careYou will or you won't2 choices in the air...
