Lyrics
I wish I knew how to win a fight
I desire to understand how to succeed in a conflict
in the same way that you did
Similar to the way you did
everytime, in every street
Consistently, in every location
always loyal to god
Always faithful to God
You can‘t be fixed for the troubles in your life
You cannot be repaired for the troubles in your life
from the great depression slump
From the depths of the Great Depression
to the illnes of ma‘
To the illness of a mother
But there was a solid strength
Yet, there was a solid strength
in the burns that you had
In the scars that you possessed
among several other things
Among various other things
that I‘d wish to bear
That I wish to endure
With the mournings that we shared
With the mourning moments we shared
and one moment you loved
And one moment you were loved
You had the best fists in town
You possessed the most formidable fists in the town
But you gotta have faith
But you need to have faith
to survive a friendly fire
To endure an unintended conflict
even if it's in your house
Even if it happens within your home
and eventually forces you
And eventually compels you
to section your wife
To separate from your spouse
We can't be safe even if we move along
We cannot be safe even if we relocate
I must leave this place in texas
I must depart from this place in Texas
to eschew my ghosts
To avoid my haunting memories
And it seems like a wound
And it feels like a wound
pouring salt on itself
Pouring salt on itself
among several other things
Among various other things
that you'd wish to bear
That you would wish to endure
From the mournings that we shared
From the mourning moments we shared
to one moment you loved
To one moment you were loved
You had the best fists in town
You possessed the most formidable fists in the town
We could go back to Okemah
We could return to Okemah
in that house that looked so bad
In that house that appeared distressed
not as bad as my uncle‘s car
Not as distressed as my uncle's car
And maybe I could sleep at night
And perhaps I could find peace at night
and stop counting all the pains of our lives
And cease tallying the pains of our lives
Safe to say they belonged
It is safe to say they belonged
to the best man in town
To the best man in town
