King of a One Horse Town - Dan Auerbach

Everyday is just a little white lie
Telling myself I’m gettin’ by
I just stay in this room and cry
The snow it covers up the ground
And I can’t hear a single sound

Turn off the TV
Go for a drive
I can’t see there’s any signs of life
Except this Christmas tree with blinking lights
I could’ve made it but I messed around
I’m a loser with a rusted crown
Scared if I jump in the ocean, I might drown

King of a One Horse Town
I’m a King of a One Horse Town
And I barely pull my weight around

Thought about leaving but I don’t know
Wouldn’t even know anywhere to go
Guess I stay on desolation road
Or get stoned and lay around
The beat of my drum is the oldest sound
I jump into the ocean but I’m scared I’ll drown

King of a One Horse Town
I’m a King of a One Horse Town
I’m a King of a One Horse Town
And I barely pull my weight around

I’m a King of a One Horse Town
King of a One Horse Town
I’m a King of a One Horse Town
And I barely pull my weight around
