Pretty Sure I'm

from Handcuff County by Ryan M. Brewer

lyrics

Damn. I feel old today. You know it had to be cold today -
The kind of cold that makes your bones feel like concrete.
They swell and crack under pressure. There ain’t no slack in a midwestern Bible Belt - It’ll pull your pants down if you let it.
At 3am, she texts “You up? The county sheriff picked him up.
I know I said he was mine, but on nights like tonight I’m pretty sure I’m... Pretty sure I’m... pretty sure he’s yours.
A chip off the old block - and yeah - I know it’s the one that I knocked off...
The night I hit you and lost you both.
I know it’s been a while since you heard from me, but I was raised to rub a little dirt on it. A whiskey mud-hut ain’t no place to raise a son.
At 3am, it gets me up. I spill the beans and all my guts...
To a halo’d face that smiles like grace in the dark of a sinner’s night... And I’m... pretty sure I’m... pretty sure it’s yours.
I’m pretty sure I’m... pretty sure I’m yours.
They say that being a prophet in your own hometown is rare.
I’m here to tell you being a drunk is hard about anywhere!
They try to take your freedom and they try to take your glass. They try to take you home before you’ve had your next to last. Now this kid’s out paying interest on the worst bets that I made... Back when I was just a baby out here trying to get laid.
I tried to take my trigger finger when I moved away,
But I guess I lost it to you in that Russian roulette game...
At 3am, they come in waves - dreams of time machines through space... Erase the memory of a face I’m pretty sure I’m... pretty sure is yours.
