Tattoos in Mayberry

You don't know this burnin' sadness
that I feel
And you can't see beneath 
my fragile smile
this hurt I must conceal
I'll keep setting course
for your promise lands
Your promised lands
adrift and rudderles
at sea.

Still, I can't quite believe
you know what's best
for a wayward child like me.
You sheltered me
when I doubted this world
 held anything but sorrow.
My slate you cleansed clean
of  done wrong yesterdays 
so I might face tomorrow. 
I bear witness
to the sweetest love
you tried to give to the likes of me.
adrift and rudderless at sea
Still, I can't  quite believe
you know what's best
for a wayward child
a wayward child
a wayward child 
like you and me.

chorus:

Rudderless and without plans
The Sun's gone down 
 still diggin for clams.
in this broken Town.
with shattered dreams and 
best laid scams...
