Bobby Long - So Tear Me Up lyrics

I'm running through the backdoor My head across the sky Hoping that my god will let me in As the people start to notice They scream "oh man, better wake him up" Hey kid you'll never want to follow him But the rich kids on the corner Betting off on solitaire Just to lay the poor upon the boys Walking out, they're on your shoes Like chalk upon the face of Rex Beating out to keep their head above the noise So hold me down So tear me up So let me in for a while Hey When everyone's a down and out You don't know where it ends But the forecast tells the lads to push on through Beyond the tepid shade a face is wrecked in the afternoon The lucky like to stick it to the truth So sing a song in sixpence I'll stick it to the change But men can never seem to make it last The send all three I owe it to the hate, the love, the cut The scar I will have to wear upon the mask So hold me down So tear me up Let me in for a while So watch it go… Oh Oh Hold me down So tear me up So let me in for a while So hold me down So tear me up So let me in for a while I bet you'd like to see a poor man start to smile
