Ship My Body Home Lyrics
Driving out of Sydney country music playing
Cursing all of them who stayed
In this city, I own this city
Getting drunker than a poet who just got paid
And I'm finally hoping that I'll be torn open
So that every word I say is true
And these words you're hearing
While I make it clear
In case trouble takes me and I don't make it through
(chorus)
You gotta ship my body home
All I ever wanted was to finnish what I started
But there's no way I can do it on my own
You gotta ship my body home
Driving through the mountains, cutting thru the nighttime
Stopping now and then to wonder why
I left the city, the quiet city
I killed its memory, just to watch it die
And I'm finally hoping that I'll be open
So that any words I say is true
And these words I'm shouting
While I work this out
In case trouble takes me and I don't make it thru
Chorus
Cursing all of them who stayed
In this city, I own this city
Getting drunker than a poet who just got paid
And I'm finally hoping that I'll be torn open
So that every word I say is true
And these words you're hearing
While I make it clear
In case trouble takes me and I don't make it through
You gotta ship my body home
All I ever wanted was to finnish what I started
But there's no way I can do it on my own
You gotta ship my body home
Stopping now and then to wonder why
I left the city, the quiet city
I killed its memory, just to watch it die
And I'm finally hoping that I'll be open
So that any words I say is true
And these words I'm shouting
While I work this out
In case trouble takes me and I don't make it thru
