Paint Me On Velvet Lyrics

By Dub Miller
I'm a man of few words but a few is enough
A man don't have to talk, he just gets up and walks when the going gets rough
I've got feelings down deep, still you think you don't care
Well I've made up my mind, gon to leave you behind and start living out there
Chorus:
So paint me on velvet and do not disguise
The bright silver teardrops that you've brought to these eyes
Hang me out by the roadside for the whole world to see
Jesus and Elvis, the Confederate flag and Willie and me
Ran away to a motel but before I checked in
Met a bouncer named Steve and decided to leave
For a gathering of men with our drums in our hands
And our hearts on our sleeves we stood around in the rain
Just sharing our pain and learning to grieve
