Capo 2nd You don't have to tell me that I'm stubborn 'cause I'm not and I know 'cause it runs in my family and skips every other generation You don't have to save my soul or make me feel like I'm in control. It's not worth the double scotch whiskey that you'd have to buy me. You look like you're surprised. Like when will I get wise But I'll just drive the same dead ends I've tried and I think I know why There's no connection between what I want and what is good for me. The truth I tell myself not to believe Guitar Break - Yeah I know I could have been somethin' but I'm not and I know that it's somebody else's fault Just like every other thing that's ever happened to me Yeah I could have been like the king like someone who could really sing Folks would line up round the corner just so they could come n' hear me Oh There I go again. Them devils love their sin Well they can't end what I do not begin. So I'm safe where I'm in. There's no connection between what I want and what is good for me. The truth I tell myself not to believe There's no direction between where I am and where I'm supposed to be The truth I tell myself not to believe Guitar Break - Don't think that I'm expecting you to stay 'Cause you won't and I know 'cause I've seen it a million times It's this charming self-destructive disposition of mine Yeah and all those happy endings are for fools Who feel like they will never loose Folks, who think there's a God out there that's gonna save them I'll get this round my friend. And then we can start again Just like we did when we were who we are. Have we come that far? Chorus There's no connection between what I want and what is good for me. The truth I tell myself not to believe There's no direction between where I am and where I'm supposed to be The truth I tell myself not to believe Outro -
