Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band - Bloodline lyrics

[Verse 1] Rolling 'round a lifetime on a name that spells my past Carried through the mile markers up towards some last laugh And if fools could only prosper I'm afraid what they might say From a podium built on generations bleeding what they make [Chorus 1] Cause here it comes, watch 'em all jump right in Tell me how could you refuse to float with the rest of them? You were born into it, there's no shame if you drift Down the bloodline [Verse 2] Feeling temperamental underneath a broke sun A certificate of excellence but no proof on your pay stub And if money's not a problem I suggest you best believe There's ten dollars on the table and a million up his sleeve [Chorus 2] And here they come, watch 'em all pa** us by Tell me how could you refuse to look one in the eye? Two sheets to the wind all over again Down the bloodline, down the bloodline [Bridge] Yes, it feels scary to be ordinary In a world that don't know your name It would not be weird if I just disappeared Blowing my back out, trying to hold my weight [Verse 3] Looking for a doctor with a cure for a broke heart Seems I spent it all on a miracle just to watch it fall apart Now there's no room for ill complaining, I know it's all just what it is Cherry pick my best believers and send 'em off with a kiss [Chorus 3] Cause there they go, watch 'em all wave goodbye Tell me how could you refuse to think it's a wonderful life? Two sheets to the wind all over again down the bloodline Down the bloodline, down the bloodline
