Ax To Grind lyrics

They tried to lose us in the hype of fortune and fame
We`ve got them to thank and only us to blame
Now the joker is dealing `cause the king went blind
We`re stayin` out of the shuffle with an ax to grind
We`re out of the shuffle with an ax to grind

chorus
I`ve got by jeans on tight and my shades when it`s sunny
You can break my heart-but don`t take my money
It`s a long long road and an uphill climb
Just leave me my guitar - I`ll have an ax to grind
Leave me my guitar - I`ll have an ax to grind

Something we`re not is what plenty of us were
We`ve got houses and cars and people callin` us sir
I`d like to give it all up and leave it behind
And join a nameless bunch of pickers with an ax to grind
A nameless bunch of pickers with an ax to grind

chorus
I`ve got by jeans on tight and my shades when it`s sunny
You can break my heart-but don`t take my money
It`s a long long road and an uphill climb
Just leave me my guitar - I`ll have an ax to grind
Leave me my guitar - I`ll have an ax to grind

They say our songs are simple and little too wordy
A little bit fast and a little too dirty
You don`t make it down the track without any ties
But we`ve made it this far with just an ax to grind

chorus
I`ve got by jeans on tight and my shades when it`s sunny
You can break my heart-but don`t take my money
It`s a long long road and an uphill climb
Just leave me my guitar - I`ll have an ax to grind
Leave me my guitar - I`ll have an ax to grind
