Song title: Jason Boland & The Stragglers - Dark & Dirty Mile

Edit By: 216.73.216.105

I refuse to spend the rest of my days trying to get away from all the things
I did when I knew not what I had done
(?)Oh so young and tired of love was I that I and my own bottle always refused to hear
them (?) tell me not to stare into the sun

This pornographic place told me a body was to be feared and then wanted at the same
time man, if you could figure how
Feared because it was the pathway to the mortal sin and then wanted because we'll all be dust a
few short years from now.

Chorus:
It's a broken hearted world that we inherit
All we're told to do is sin and bear it
For a little while,
On this dark and dirty mile.

It took awhile at least for me to live enough until i believe in none of what I heard and less than half of what I saw
Mark the days have come and gone some were lost and some were wrong and the way back home we'll figure out a place to place it all

Chorus:
It's a broken hearted world that we inherit
All we're told is to do sin and bear it
For a little while,
On this dark and dirty mile
We're all family here on trial
On the dark and dirty mile

Finally I realized that knowledge better make you wise
Or all the knots you learned to tie will leave you in a ball
Helpless as when we were born threaded bare and holy worn shivering as summer gives way to early fall

Chorus:
It's a broken hearted world that we inherit
All we're told is to do sin and bear it
For a little while,
On the dark and dirty mile
We're all family here on trial
On the dark and dirty mile
