Tumbling Paddies (Travelling Soldier)

(Verse 1)
Dust on the Bible, tabs on the bar
Pawned my pride for a beat-up guitar
Faith ran dry somewhere back in Amarillo
Now I sing for tips and a shot of sorrow

(Verse 2)
Clock on the wall don’t pay no mind
To broken hearts or overtime
I got one thing that ain’t been spent—
If you’re dealin’ in hurt, I got soul for rent

(Chorus)
So raise your glass to the life I’ve spent
On busted dreams and a leaky tent
Ain’t heaven-bound, can’t pay that rent
So I’m takin’ bids on a soul for rent

(Verse 3)
Barstool preacher with a gospel grin
Said, “Son, you can’t outdrink your sin”
But I gave it a shot, now I’m broke and bent—
Ain’t got nothin’ left but a soul for rent

(Verse 4)
Boot heel worn, and my hat’s gone gray
Whiskey talks when you run outta pray
The jukebox knows my last lament—
Plays it nightly for my soul for rent

(Chorus)
Yeah, raise your glass to the life I’ve spent
On busted dreams and a leaky tent
The good Lord passed when the devil sent
An IOU for my soul for rent

(Bridge)
Ain’t no saint, but I’ve paid my dues
If pain’s a wage, I’ve earned these blues
So come on in, take what you meant—
Just leave enough for a soul for rent

(Chorus)
So raise your glass, make no pretense
We’re all just livin’ on consequence
If you got cash, I’ll take the cent—
I’m still holdin’ out with a soul for rent

(Final Chorus)
Yeah, raise your glass, make no pretense
We’re all just livin’ on consequence
If you got cash, I’ll take the cent—
I’m still holdin’ out with a soul for rent
