Hank Williams - I Could Never Be Ashamed of You lyrics

And it's all the treasures that shine in the street

As we drive right over them

And its all the mornings we missed for sleep

As the sun glides over our apartment

And it's all the subtle change in landscape and business

Reminds you of your limited time

This time you'll listen to the movement in your body

How it keeps on despite you and it frightens you

Cause you're barely alive

You're desperate in finding something else to please you

You've been searching your whole life

Something to mute, change, or just distract you

Something to put inside you to give the illusion of life

Cause you've always been barely alive

Cause you're barely alive

Cause you're barely alive

You've always been barely alive

Have you not?

And the greatest escape that you ever did make

With your arms by your side left it up to fate

And the coast that you've seen though you're watching them weekly

You've cursed all perfect days as you walked away

I can hear you say, “Jenny, you're barely aliveâ€Â

a metal rods you put in your fucking jaw to keep you from grinding your teeth at night

Cause you're barely alive

You've always been barely alive

Cause you're barely alive

Always been barely alive
