Smoking Gun

The verdict's out on this here town
I like to drink my inhibitions down
I've done all I can to deserve
This thorny crown
And this ornery reputation
That I'll never live down
I can't rewrite all the words
That have stepped foot on my tongue
And I won't tell a thousand tales
Of how I'm different from anyone
You can fire all your bullets
Till what's left is an empty gun
Because I can't do one damn thing
To change the road that I've run
I come from a long line of lovers
A long line of saints
But it skipped a generation
And I'm fine with all I ain't
But the tears that I've caused
Try to scare life away
And I've never been strong enough
To break my heart to strength
I can't rewrite all the words
That have stepped foot on my tongue
And I won't tell a thousand tales
Of how I'm different from anyone
You can fire all your bullets
Till what's left is an empty gun
Because I can't do one damn thing
To change the road that I've run
There are worse things that I could be
Like if I were anything less
Than the wreck that's me
I can't rewrite all the words
That have stepped foot on my tongue
And I won't tell a thousand tales
Of how I'm different from anyone
You can fire all your bullets
Till what's left is an empty gun
Because I can't do one damn thing
To change the road that I've run
