Steep Canyon Rangers - Wasted lyrics

rate me

(verse)

See the man on the stage tonight

It looks like he might jump outta his skin

There's just too much inside for the shape that he's in

Asking more of that poor guitar

Than anything this side of heaven could give

And fighting is the only way he knows how to live

(Chorus)

And the strongest stuff doesn't help anymore

It's just buried enough to hold up the floor

And the ceiling's too low and it's promising rain

(Verse 2)

Out in the crowd someone's called his name

To go on! He leads a league of those who doubt

And don't believe he'll make it out this time

While he's singing wings hanging in the sky

Is there anybody here, a doctor or a nurse

It's plain to see that it's hurtin' him so

Turn on the spotlight and endure the show!

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Out in the crowd someone's called his name

To go on! Just one taste and he's wasted

Just one taste and he's wasted

Just one taste and he's wasted

It's not wasted!

(Chorus)
