bleed on paper

Eric Church

May never be what you call a rock star
It s cool if I don t get there
I die just a sinner with a guitar
Johnny Cash middle finger in the air
Make a living on what s in the tip jar
Burn out like a neon buzz
I ve been nothing but my old man s son
The best damn thing there ever was, but

Keep on singing what I know
Between a minor and a major
Keep pulling at the bittersweet
And if it ain t the latest flavor
Little bit of devil, little bit of savior
Whole lotta life cut like a razor
With some blue ink, a blank page
And an old six string, I bleed on paper

Yeah, I met a man at the crossroad
Suit and tie, with a smile like gold
He tried making me a deal
Like I had me a for sale sign hangin on my soul
Said all I had to do was change my tune
I could cash that check
But I don t like the feeling of a rattlesnake
Boot heel on my neck, so

Keep on singing what I know
Between a minor and a major
Keep pulling at the bittersweet
And if it ain t the latest flavor
Little bit of devil, little bit of savior
Whole lotta life cut like a razor
With some blue ink, a blank page
And an old six string, I bleed on paper

Pulling out my heart
Showing these scars
Yeah that s the part that heals me
Chasing one more song
That cuts to the bone
Even if it kills me

But I keep on singing what I know
Between a minor and a major
I keep pulling at the bittersweet
Even if it ain t the latest flavor
Runnin with the devil, riding with the savior
Whole lotta life cut like a razor
With some blue ink, a blank page
And an old six string, I bleed on paper

I bleed on paper
Keep on keepin on
I bleed on paper
Bleed on paper
