Lyrics

And I've come to know the wish list of my father
 I've come to know the shipwrecks where he's been
 I've come to wish allow
 Among the overdressed crowd
 Come to witness now the sinking of this ship
 Throwing pennies from the sea top next to it
 And I've come to roam the forest
 Past the village
 With a dozen lazy horses in my cart
 I've come here to get high
 To do more than just get by
 I've come to test the timber of my heart
 Oh I've come to test the timber of my heart
 And I've come
 To be untroubled in my seeking
 And I've come
 To see that nothing is for not
 I've come to reach out blind
 To reach forward and behind
 For the more I seek
 The more I'm sought
 Yea the more I seek
 The more I'm sought
 And I've come to meet the sheriff
 And his posse
 To offer him the broad side of my jaw
 I've come here to get broke
 And maybe bum a smoke
 We'll go drinking two towns over after all
 Oh we'll go drinking two towns over after all
 And I've come to meet the legendary takers
 I've only come to ask them for a lot
 Aw they say I come with less
 Than I should rightfully possess
 I say: The more I buy
 The more I'm bought
 And the more I'm bought
 The less I cost
 And I've come
 To take their servants and their surplus
 And I've come
 To take their rain coats and their speed
 I've come to get my fill
 To ransack and spill
 I've come to take the harvest for the seed
 I've come to take the harvest for the seed
 And I've come to know the manger you sleep in
 I've come to be the stranger that you keep
 I've come from down the road
 And my footsteps never slowed
 Before we met I knew we'd meet
 Before we met I knew we'd meet
 And I've come here to ignore you cries and heartaches
 I've come to closely listen to you sing
 I've come here to insist
 That I leave here with a kiss
 I've come to say exactly what I mean
 And I mean so many things
 And you've come
 To know me stubborn as a bitcher
 And you've come
 To know me thankless as a guest
 But will you recognize my face
 When god's awful grace
 Strips me of my jacket and my vest
 And reveals all the treasure in my chest.
