Tall and Mighty

Feelin' so low, downright mean
 Trying to live up to some honky tonk dream
 Wondering if three chords and the truth
 Still mean the same to me
 Well I'm feelin' kind of lucky and also damn strange
 Been all around the world for some small piece of change
 Singin' my heart out at some shitty bar
 Hawkin' on my old guitar
 Whoever thought that I would take it this far?
 Some days you're gonna feel real fine
 On top of the world, on cloud nine
 Can't nobody touch you when you're after your piece of the pie
 Other days you won't feel alright
 Other days you wanna break down and cry
 Blow up in smoke like some ol' pipeline, like teargas in the sky
 You can't stand tall and mighty all the time
 Now everything's not as bad as it seems
 Most of my friends are on methamphetamines
 Trying to raise babies in this cold world
 Wondering what could have been
 Yeah they're puttin' in the hours on a river barge
 Pushing some freight past a gravel bar
 Trying to make the best of what's been handed to them
 Still wondering what could have been
 Yeah, they're trying to start all over again
 Some days you're gonna feel real fine
 On top of the world, on cloud nine
 Can't nobody touch you when you're after your piece of the pie
 Other days you won't feel alright
 Other days you wanna break down and cry
 Blow up in smoke like some ol' pipeline, like teargas in the sky
 You can't stand tall and mighty all the time
 Tall and mighty all the time
 Tall and mighty all the time
 And everything's gonna be alright
 Everything's gonna be alright
 You just can't stand tall and mighty all the time
