[Verse 1]
Take it down, put it in a jar with butterflies
Fill it up with some formaldehyde
You won't see it here again
You say take it slow
It's a mood and it will come and go
But the joints I needed didn't grow
And left me crippled in your eyes
[Chorus]
Oh and all good cowboys know
There ain't no good ol' home sweet home
So I'll raise my protest, raise my drink
And I won't live here no more
Cuz you never learned my name
It was the one name you should've known
[Post-Chorus]
And I will lay me down
And I will lay me down
And I will lay me down, the road
[Verse 2]
A dollar in another jukebox just to dance with you
Oh but all it does is play the blues
And on and on they go
No and I won't be
Another mess to clean in aisle three
This late night shift has got me questioning
If daylight will come at all
[Chorus]
Oh and all good cowboys know
There ain't no good ol' home sweet home
So I'll raise my protest, raise my drink
And I won't live here no more
Cuz you never learned my name
It was the one name you should've known
[Post-Chorus]
And I will lay me down
And I will lay me down
And I will lay me down, the road
[Bridge]
Here am I, staring standing on a borderline
This life I'm leading really isn't mine
It's sung in 4/4 time
[Chorus]
Oh and all good cowboys know
There ain't no good ol' home sweet home
So I'll raise my protest, raise my drink
And I won't live here no more
Cuz you never learned my name
It was the one name you should've known
[Post-Chorus]
And I will lay me down
And I will lay me down
And I will lay me down, the road
