Just For You

Just For You (triple j Like A Version)

[Verse 1]

Been bustin’ knuckles till my skin wore thin,
Takin’ on work that barely kept me in.
Coffee cans of coins out by the shed,
Drinkin’ whiskey hopin’ fear’d stay dead.

This world kept pressin’ heavy on my back,
Tryin’ hard as hell to keep on track.
Lay awake at night with pride worn thin,
Thinkin’ I warn’t worth the hide I’m in.

[Pre-Chorus]

So I’ll light this match
let it all burn down
let it burn let it burn let it burn


[Chorus]

I’m standin’ in this cinder light,
tired of losin’ every fight.
Smoke rollin’ off these worn-out bones,
haulin’ pain that ain’t my own.

Yeah I’m standin’ in this cinder light,
tired of losin’ every fight.
Smoke rollin’ off these worn-out bones,
haulin’ pain that ain’t my own.

[Verse 2]

I walk these ridges wearin’ down my boots,
wishin’ I could find my old home roots.
A slave to debt from men who held my name,
runnin’ from the past the best I can.

Some nights I’d stare at every thing I’d lost,
too broke to dream, too tired to count the cost.
A man can only tote so much at night
‘fore throwin’ all his burdens out of sight.

[Pre-Chorus]

So I’ll light this match
let it all burn down
let it burn let it burn let it burn


[Chorus]

I’m standin’ in this cinder light,
tired of losin’ every fight.
Smoke rollin’ off these worn-out bones,
haulin’ pain that ain’t my own.

Oh I’m standin’ in this cinder light,
tired of losin’ every fight.
Smoke rollin’ off these worn-out bones,
haulin’ pain that ain’t my own.

[Bridge]

I knelt beneath the pines that hid the moon,
tears fallin down like the rain in june 
I had no more strength to carry on
Whiskey stinking on my breath
Inches from my leap to certain death 

[Pre-Chorus]
But Instead I lit that match
I let it all burn down
Oh it burned oh it burned yeah it burneddddd

[Final Chorus]

Now I’m standin’ in this cinder light,
feelin’ like the world is right.
The hurt I hauled ain’t in my sight;
I’m done with runnin’ from the night.

Yeah I’m standin’ in the cinder light
Everything’s gonna be alright
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn
Ohhhh  burnin’ with the mornin’ light
