Black Friday Rule Lyrics

I want to believe in myself once again 

 So I dream of a man whose hopes never end 

 To kiss with a girl who's as lovely as you 

 I'd give you my heart, if you gave me the truth

 

 And for every tear that is lost from an eye 

 I'd dig me a well where no man could destroy 

 I want to believe in a freedom that's bold 

 But all I remember is the freedom of old

 

 Well I lost me a wife, so I found me a plane 

 Flew all the way to California 

 This mess in my head is a mess getting out 

 Ya drink too much coffee, I drink too much stout

 

 But after a while, when my mouth's not so dry 

 I'll dance up a storm, sure life's looking fine 

 But as darkness falls, I return to my bed 

 Don't ask me more questions, don't fuck with my head

 

 I've been down in this world, down and almost broken 

 Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe 

 I've been down in this world, down and almost broken 

 As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule

 

 The buildings they shake but my heart it beats still 

 Oh mother of Jesus, I feel pretty ill 

 I want to go home where my feet both feel safe 

 But there ain't no jobs in the old free state

 

 So I must remain in my new adopted land 

 I'm doing the best, Hell I'm doin' all I can 

 So next time you see me, don't ask for my name 

 For I am the King and sure long may I reign

 

 I've been down in this world, down and almost broken 

 Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe 

 I've been down in this world, down and almost broken 

 As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule

 

 I've been down in this world, down and almost broken 

 Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe 

 I've been down in this world, down and almost broken 

 As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
