Slaid Cleaves - Wishbones lyrics

[Verse 1] Day after day after Trying to understand Why the world tries to grind you down Make a ghost out of a man Your date of grace is due And you've pawned everything you own I guess some dreams just don't come true Nothin' left but skin and wishbones Each year the world gets lonelier And uglier with sin You'll never see those blue skies Through young eyes again You've prayed to every god you've known Just to wind up all alone Your friends are gone, your mama's dead Nothin' left but skin and wishbones [Chorus] Spin the bottle cap Throw a shot back Everything's gonna be all right Spin the bottle cap Throw a shot back Cough and cry Lay down and die [Verse 2] Grab an end, hold on tight Bottles and bones in the night You'll never go back home You old wishbone Can't eat can't sleep can't think Not knowing where to go This is real life brother This ain't no reality show If suffering is human Well I guess we're not alone You'll survive on next to nothing But you won't live on skin and wishbones Spin the bottle cap
