    A friend sent me this a day or two ago, saying that it reminded him of the homeless that we have wandering up and down the streets of our small town. Definitely an emotional song listening to it with them in mind.

      What's happened to our country? The coldness being shown to homeless folks...
      Maybe it's all the mean 'Christians', enough of them to elect a monstrosity like donnie boy president.

    Here's the lyrics:
    Living on bread and wine was easy
    for John and James and Mother Mary
    and I’m no saint and that’s my ball and chain
    Cause when I’m passed that silver chalice
    I always drink my fill until it
    knocks me down and tangles up my brain
    Yeah buddy, it’s a short life, it’s a hell of a life
    it’s a mean old world, when you’re kicked to the gutter
    and the firewater is the one thing to put out the flame
    Walking through the graveyards and sleeping in alleys
    telling myself the same old stories
    Drinking that blood and calling it holy wine
    Looking in windows and seeing a stranger
    going through hell like a fallen angel
    Feeling my bones getting old long before their time
    Yeah buddy, it’s a short life, it’s a hell of a life
    it’s a mean old world, when you’re kicked to the gutter
    and the firewater gotcha talking in circles again
    It’s an empty bottle passing around
    when your hopes and dreams have all burned down
    And the firewater is the one thing to put out the flame
    Take me home, take me home
    Gather me up in your arms Lord have mercy divine
    So take me home, take me home
    Take me home, take me home
    Cause it’s a short life, it’s a hell of a life,
    it’s a mean old world when you're kicked to the gutter
    and the firewater is the one thing to put out the flame
    Yeah, the firewater is the one thing to put out the flame

      Even though the lyrics are very clear, it's very helpful to see them all written down, much appreciated.

    Best. Song. Ever.

    That's seriously not uplifting

    • @mikegoldberg5261
      @mikegoldberg5261 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's trying to raise a little compassion for people who 'get kicked to the gutter' or feel like they have. It uplifts me to see them put their compassion into an eloquent song.

      Seriously 'downlifting' 😉, but a fantastic exploration of the condition. It feels like you're experiencing that state as you listen. Critter Fuqua knows whereof he speaks.

    Weed is better for keeping hope alive than firewater.
