"Coming Down" lyrics

I can't afford a place to stay
A new guitar to sit and play
And this old box rings out just right
I'll slip on couches and slip in cars
Crash one-nighters from the bar
You judging me just don't feel right

I've been bottom of the barrel poor
And worked for hot meals before
I spent all my spare change on bad habits
I've played for tips, and I've played for kids
I've played to see who I could meet
And none of these have landed me in deal

Maybe mama's prayers and daddy's best wishes
Will bring me home with gold-filled fears
And everyone can say that they are proud
Until I find myself living that dream
I'll sing my heart out, pick the next dream
I'll dream in the sky while I'm on the ground
I'm coming down, I'm coming down

I'll keep on playing every show
For the ten folks in the back row
One night, I'll find my place to land
They'll buy my beer, feed my face
Maybe their smoke's not laced
Either way, I'm not turning it down

I sing all night in this no-name town
With a no-name face and a no-name frown
I let destiny and love guide me
I'm leaning away from sobriety
I'll chase my dreams into the sea
And hold on to these strings to stay afloat

Maybe mama's prayers and daddy's best wishes
Will bring me home with gold-filled fears
And everyone can say that they are proud
Until I find myself living that dream
I'll sing my heart out, pick the next dream
I'll dream in the sky while I'm on the ground

I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, I'm coming down
