Broken Crown -

Cottonmouth in another town

I drank the river dry

Travellin' with a broken crown

A demon passin' by

I watched the blackbirds takin' flight

Ashes in the wind

I disappeared into the night

And felt my spirit bend

I’d scream right up to Heaven if I thought it’d do me good

I’d wash my hands of sin if I really thought I could

I’d speak my mind right now if I had half a mind to give

I’d lay right down and die if I had ever really lived

I went and killed a man today

I watched him disappear

A broken hand sent him away

He was standin' in the mirror

I was born a wicked man

Broken from the start

Am I made of rusty tin?

Did the Lord forget my heart?

I’d scream right up to Heaven if I thought it’d do me good

I’d wash my hands of sin if I really thought I could

I’d speak my mind right now if I had half a mind to give

I’d lay right down and die if I had ever really lived

Oh!

Straight and narrow’s twisted

But the fact it still remains

That line I walk is crooked

But I walk it just the same

I’d try to part your waters

If I didn’t think I’d drown

I’d finally take a stand

If I wasn’t layin' down

I’d scream right up to Heaven if I thought it’d do me good

I’d wash my hands of sin if I really thought I could

I’d speak my mind right now if I had half a mind to give

I’d lay right down and die if I had ever really lived
