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...
