Dark and Dirty Mile Lyrics

Verse 1:
I refuse to spend the rest of
my days trying to get away
from all the things I did
when I knew not what I had done
Oh so young and tired of love
was not an item my own
bottle always refused to hear them tell me
not to stare into the sun
This pornographic place told me
a body was to be feared and then wanted at the same
time man, if you could figure how.
Fear because it was the pathway
to a mortal sin and then wanted because we'll all be dust a
few short years from now.
Chorus:
It's a broken hearted world that we inherit
All we're told is to do sit and bear it
For a little while,
On this dark and dirty mile.
V2
Took awhile at least for me
to live enough 'till I believed in
none of what I heard and less than
half of what I saw
Mark the days have come and gone
some are lost and some are wrong
and way back home we'll figure out
a place to place it all
Chorus:
It's a broken hearted world that we inherit
All we're told is to do sit and bear it
For a little while,
On this dark and dirty mile
We're all family here on trial
On this dark and dirty mile
Instrumental with verse A, D, finishing D, E, A
V3
Finally I realized that
knowledge better make you wise
and all the knots you tied
will leave you in a ball.
Helpless as when we were born
thread barren and holy worn
out shivering as summer
gives way to early fall
Chorus:
It's a broken hearted world that we inherit
All we're told is to do sit and bear it
For a little while,
On this dark and dirty mile
We're all family here on trial
On this dark and dirty mile
