your momma was a sailor, your daddy strong at hand, but you raised yourself straight with a level head
growing up you know well things they got much worse, but that didn't stop you like it mighta stopped them
all this time, you were reading them books, and you kept your head on a swivel, but you fell right in
all along i thought you more of a thinker, how could any ole' drinker reel you in?
you sold yourself to the, sold yourself to the, sold yourself to the wind
i warned you not to go hangin' round them, instead you gave it a shot and you got hit...by your own bullet
your drinkin' mama she said "come back again, i'll put this to and end for you my friend"
but...you sold yourself to the wind
