Direction

I travelled 'round, I settled down
 And now I don't do things I used to do
 I moved around from town to town
 And now I don't do things I used to do
 lt's a shame
 I said to the King
 I lost my direction
 And he said "No boy,
 you lost everything
 that you need"
 So steal it back, what you signed over
 Know you're gettin' close
 When you think that it's over
 Float with me down the river
 Float with me out to sea
 Float with me down the river
 'Cause you never ever wanted to
 So if my shoulder's
 for lookin' over
 I still don't do the things
 I used to do
 I held the reins
 That dealt the pain
 And I still don't do things
 I used to do
 I'm not the same
 I started to think
 It's just my perception
 And he said "No boy,
 you've done everything
 that you need"
 So if I traded life
 in search of stolen glory
 Who would have thought
 right now was the story?
 Float with me down the river
 Float with me out to sea
 Float with me down the river
 'Cause you never ever wanted to
 They said I was John Wayne
 Or even blood twisted Tarantino
 I've burned all that I've learned
 Too many deals on gambles
 Soul Casinos
 That deal such pain
 So I wound it back
 And thought it over
 I think he's tryin' to say
 "Life's a blood-stained
 Four leaf clover"
 So steal it back, what you signed over
 Yeah you'll know when it's over
 It's such a stolen glory
 When what now was a story
 Float with me down the river
 Float with me out to see
 Float with me down the river
 'Cause you never ever wanted to
