Axe To Grind

They tried to lose us in the hype of fortune and fameWe've got them to thank and only us to blameNow the joker is dealing 'cause the king went blindWe're stayin' out of the shuffle with an ax to grindWe're out of the shuffle with an ax to grindchorusI've got by jeans on tight and my shades when it's sunnyYou can break my heart-but don't take my moneyIt's a long long road and an uphill climbJust leave me my guitar - I'll have an ax to grindLeave me my guitar - I'll have an ax to grindSomething we're not is what plenty of us wereWe've got houses and cars and people callin' us sirI'd like to give it all up and leave it behindAnd join a nameless bunch of pickers with an ax to grindA nameless bunch of pickers with an ax to grindchorusI've got by jeans on tight and my shades when it's sunnyYou can break my heart-but don't take my moneyIt's a long long road and an uphill climbJust leave me my guitar - I'll have an ax to grindLeave me my guitar - I'll have an ax to grindThey say our songs are simple and little too wordyA little bit fast and a little too dirtyYou don't make it down the track without any tiesBut we've made it this far with just an ax to grindchorusI've got by jeans on tight and my shades when it's sunnyYou can break my heart-but don't take my moneyIt's a long long road and an uphill climbJust leave me my guitar - I'll have an ax to grindLeave me my guitar - I'll have an ax to grind
