lyrics

Welcome to the world my new little girl
Sorry daddy has no money saved
All the bills piled high and your mommy and I
Had to go our separate ways

We spilt everything, but her old diamond ring
She was keeping as a souvenir
Well there’s a dusty pawn shop where I got it hocked
I stole it from her last year
We don’t talk much about it
both of us understand
What’s in my blood is who I’m made of
Out in no man’s land

We met in high school
back when dating was cool
I played football on the line defense
She was the cheerleading queen
of homecoming team
And loving her just made sense
Then I found the moon
with a needle and spoon
But that Judas harpoon takes a toll
She wanted more than I could give,
but it takes so much to live
When you got something you can’t control
Her father warned me the night you were born
As I held you in my hands
That there was no place for me in our family
Out in no man’s land

Now I’m in the sticks with my brother who became another
Addict on the motherless streets
We’re both hooked on junk crack and a pump
And I’m sweating on dirty sheets
We’re here alone where the wind cuts through bone
I’m always stoned and Christ
I’ll get back to you if it’s the last thing I do
Everything comes with a price

I’m gonna buy back that old diamond ring
Today I sold my wedding band
There’s a clinic round here where I’ll disappear
And get out of no man’s land
This is the letter I’d send you if my thoughts could reach a pen
It don’t matter where you’re from look what your daddy’s become
Another soul out in no man’s land...
