Fur Coat Blues Lyrics

VERSE 1:
I've got a very troubled mind
Ten feet to go, ten feet behind.
and I know I'll get my time.
but its a long way down the line.
lately I'm scared of being alive.
I've got my own dog barking when I walk inside.
what's the use of holding in my pride
I've only got one shot at being alive.
Chorus:
I'm in some head high water.
Whiskey wallow.
I told my father I'd carry on his name
with my sons and daughters.
raise them taller.
and I hang my head beneath the tin roof rain
when I get through these fur coat blues.
VERSE 2:
I though awhile about what to do
I had me a case of them fur coat blues
But that ain't nothin' new
I??ve been here a time or two
Lately I'm scared of being alive
I??ve got this hesitation and it's running wild
But what's the use of living in doubt
I??ve only got one shot Till my time runs out
Chorus:
I'm in some head high water.
Whiskey wallow.
I told my father I'd carry on his name
with my sons and daughters.
raise them taller.
and I hang my head beneath the tin roof rain
when I get through these fur coat blues.
These fur coat blues
