lyrics

Tortured Life Blues (The Ballad of James and Marie)

Here's to love, the one thing we're not sure of
What have you got if you don't got me?
I must have lost everything the deal cost
Now I'd make any deal you like
Trapped inside a body I cannot control
I tell it what to do but it don't listen

Struggle, struggle
A tortured life
I see things that are not there

Oh my soul, you got rough around the edge
When we get home, we'll eat our young
I'm not myself, I haven't been myself for months
I just felt the need to explain
Struck it rich, oh so rich, from cripples, crooks, and kids
Baby, I'm yours truly, one trick pony

Struggle, struggle
A tortured life
I see things that are not there

Struggle, struggle
A living hell
I see things that are not there
