Ryan Bingham - For What It's Worth lyrics

rate me

For what it's worth

A nickels just a nickel son

Your pleasure becomes your pain

It's gonna hurt

Your out on the road

Your just an old horse walking alone

Shaken off the miles been rode

Pardon me

Through the valley of the shadows

Wickedness unravels

Some crooked man

Dealing cards to an honest man

Stealing up all his farming land

It's a damn shame

His oldest son is starving now

There ain't no mule to pull the plow

There ain't no rain

Cause all the crops are burning dry

Except for the tear in his mama's eye

In her eye

Everything is fine

With one touch

The water turns to rust

Tell me who is there to trust

Anymore

Your falling fast

You're just a rock in glass

Running from your shattered past

For what it's worth

Said a nickels just a nickel son

Your pleasure becomes your pain

It's gonna hurt

Your out on the road

Your just an old horse walking alone

Shaken off the miles been rode

Pardon me

Through the valley of the shadows

Wickedness unravels

With one touch

Said the water turns to rust

Tell me who is there to trust

Anymore

When your falling fast

You're just a rock in glass

Running from your shattered past

Tell me all you need

Is a guitar string and a bended knee

A country boy, that's all you need to be

Think I'm in tune

Always gotta be a fucking train

Sometimes I can't recall

What's left of me

Laughter on my back been peeled on off

And the past is always catching up with me

But I'm tired of stepping on memories and walking on

If you could only see the best in me

I wouldn't have to pick the guitar or write you a song

But you only be what you can see

And I guess the heart don't always come with the soul

I think I'll go on and call my mama

Tell her I loving you if I ever did ever drove me away

It wasn't that I didn't want to stick around

Just I couldn't find the courage in the bottom of the bottle to stay

Well around my old man cleared up

Well then tell him that everything will be okay

And even if you can't give up on the drinking

Well I guess I couldn't either and I still gonna love you anyways

Well I called my sister out in vegas

Well and tell her to roll the dice for me

And if you help me I'll help you roll you a seven

Well I hope you can buy you a pretty house out in la

This is the best in me
