I Will Never Be Around

Everything inside of me is broken now
 And now a piece falls out my sleeve in every single town
 Now I pray each line I leave is the last one I ride down
 And I will always love you, and I will never be around
 And I would pick a shallow grave over an empty cell
 Oh, 'cause I have seen that time ain't too forgiving of a jail
 And I could craft a pile of stone into a wishing well
 But you aren't so naive, my love, we know that life is hell
 Highways wane, and old freight trains burn in my ear
 It became so loud, at times, it's all that I could hear
 But running from your troubles, it won't make them disappear
 And I would waltz through fire, my friend, to have my conscience cleared
 And I would pick a shallow grave over an empty cell
 Oh, 'cause I have seen that time ain't too forgiving of a jail
 And I could craft a pile of stone into a wishing well
 But you aren't so naive, my love, we know that life is hell
 And you would think that fate, would grant us a second chance
 But she won't give the time of day or an awkward glance
 You won't reduce my sentence under the circumstance
 And I had placed my bets before the cards were in my hand
 And I would pick a shallow grave over an empty cell
 Oh, 'cause I have seen that time ain't too forgiving of a jail
 And I could craft a pile of stone into a wishing well
 But you aren't so naive, my love, we know that life is hell
 And everything inside of me, oh, is broken now
 And now a piece falls out my sleeve in every single town
 And now I pray each line I leave is the last one I ride down
 Oh, and I will always love you, and I will never be around
 Oh, and I will always love you, and I will never be around
