lyrics

Now you're anchored to the shore,
you tell me that you don't dream no more,
ah, but you're a lion,
you can't stop trying.

You've always been such a freak,
I love to listen when you speak,
so it's time to practice what you preach,
but I understand that you're just feeling weak.

Yeah, cause line 'em up and knock 'em down,
yeah, that's the motto in this heartbreak town,
but you and I, we've been around,
you and I have stood on sacred ground.

Oh, so don't pretend,
you could never be like them.
You weren't born for a cage,
though I know it's all the rage,
forget 'em if they can't take a joke.

That woman, she's so nice,
smiling as she sharpens up her knife,
she wants to be a Nashville queen,
yeah, she's so hungry to make that scene,

but you could never be that lame,
yeah, cause you could never play that game,
cause if you got the Memphis blues,
it's not what you win, it's what you lose.

Oh, so don't pretend,
you could never be like them.
You weren't born for a cage,
though I know it's all the rage,
forget 'em if they can't take a joke.
