Since I was born I've heard the voice of the father
Goes in the one ear, on out the other
Hit me baby, show me the floor
I was Cassidy's gun and she was his daughter
And I was the country
When we were young
And I was water, I was rum
I don't let her round the Thompson no more for
She wanna go back to that sky-high mother
I'm back in Trastevere dancing the seven hills
Cutting my brother's neck, grabbing the dollar bills
The day the cowboy cried and I gave up on love
And you gave up on light, and so began my second life
And honey I'm leaving everything behind
Caesar's old roads are gettin out of my mind
Now I'm burning up the night
Rolling up the pieces of my–
Rolling up the pieces of my life
Used to tear 'em up (woo-oh-oh-oh)
I used to cut it down (woo-oh-oh-oh)
Double it back I'm turning around
Oh, I'm goin' home
It ain't easy livin' on my own
(A cowboy with a one track mind)
It ain't easy livin' all alone
(He drank a cup of the devil's moonshine)
And I saw the dead come alive
(Allulah no anna see ray yah)
What I saw could make a dead man cry
I'm goin' home
Losing love, my baby's leaving town
Said my honey's flying high above
And never coming down
Oh, and I'm sorry for my stealing hands
The way they take it all
Oh-hi-oh dee rama no lie
I was hypnotized by the great wall
You know, you know, you know, you know
I used to cut em up
I used to tear it down
I coulda been the king of this town but I'm going home
It ain't easy livin' on my own
(A good heart and a wicked mind)
It ain't easy livin' all alone
(A good man and the devil's shoeshine)
Oh, I saw the dead come back to life
(Allulah no anna see ray yah)
What I saw could make a dead man die
I'm goin' home
Hit me
Hit me
Hit me
Hit me, come on, come on
Hit me
Hit me motherfucker
