All You Despise
Town Mountain
Well here is your left hand and there is your right
Years of driving nails and railroad spikes
That hammers heavy - What does it weigh?
A hard working man's gonna swing one every day
There is your right hand and here is your left
They’re both put to good use on that you can bet
Writing down songs and playing on the strings
Thinking about the good stuff it’s gonna bring
Yes it’s bad when you ain’t at home
Many miles from a pay telephone
No one even knows my name
And all you despise will be the same
Well here comes the mailman and there goes your bills
They’ll file all your numbers up to Capitol Hill
Regardless what you work at keep doing it till it’s done
They promised you a good life and still you ain’t seen one
Man it’s bad when you ain’t at home
Everywhere you go you always feel alone
Some day they’ll all know your name
And all you despise will be the same
Well now here is a hat, a coat and a vest
Cover up that ‘S’ you have written on your chest
You’re only human and I know who you are
Even if you become some big old superstar
Yes it’s bad when you ain’t at home
Everywhere you go you always feel alone
Y’all don’t even know my name
And all you despise will be the same
Well here is your left hand and there is your right
Years from driving nails and railroad spikes
That hammers heavy - What does it weigh?
A hard working man's gonna swing one every day
Yes it’s bad when you ain’t at home
Everywhere you go you always feel alone
Y’all don’t even know my name
And all you despise will be the same
And all you despise will be the same
