"That Wrecking Ball" lyrics
I'm takin' to leanin'
These past few days,
A little too heavy on my wakin' cane.
'Cause I'm afraid she's swingin' my way,
That wreckin' ball.
Now with all my ducks in a row,
With one pull, I can let 'em go.
Not to lose, just to show, I could catch them all.
But every man bears a burden,
Some beast by the horns
That he hides from the world
When he's young 'n' strong
Lookin' over his shoulder
Half-tethered and torn
Still standing tall.
Every year rolls on, like a runaway train
Every bistro's stronger as the pendulum swings
To and fro
And on she goes
That wrecking ball
I just seen that Rock of Ages
I just tell my Savior's hand.
We danced underwater with my head on my shoulders
She swore to never let me fall
Was a time seemed so kindly
If every bright-eyed girl could be
More like you
Shelter me from that wrecking ball
That wreckin' ball
These past few days,
A little too heavy on my wakin' cane.
'Cause I'm afraid she's swingin' my way,
That wreckin' ball.
Now with all my ducks in a row,
With one pull, I can let 'em go.
Not to lose, just to show, I could catch them all.
But every man bears a burden,
Some beast by the horns
That he hides from the world
When he's young 'n' strong
Lookin' over his shoulder
Half-tethered and torn
Still standing tall.
Every year rolls on, like a runaway train
Every bistro's stronger as the pendulum swings
To and fro
And on she goes
That wrecking ball
I just seen that Rock of Ages
I just tell my Savior's hand.
We danced underwater with my head on my shoulders
She swore to never let me fall
Was a time seemed so kindly
If every bright-eyed girl could be
More like you
Shelter me from that wrecking ball
That wreckin' ball
