Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Everyday is just a little white lie

Tellin’ myself I'm gettin' by

I just stay in this room and cry

The snow it covers up the ground

And I can't hear a single sound

[Verse 2]

Turn off the TV, go for a drive

I can't see there's any signs of life

Except this Christmas tree with blinking lights

I could've made it but I messed around

I'm a loser with a rusted crown

Scared if I jump in the ocean, I might drown

[Verse 3]

King of a one horse town

I'm a king of a one horse town

And I barely pull my weight around

[Verse 4]

Thought about leavin’ but I don't know

Wouldn't even know anywhere to go

Guess I stay on desolation road

Or get stoned and lay around

The beat of my drum is the oldest sound

I jump into the ocean but I'm scared I'll drown

[Verse 5]

King of a one horse town

I'm a king of a one horse town

I'm a king of a one horse town

And I barely pull my weight around

[Verse 6]

I'm a king of a one horse town

King of a one horse town

I'm a king of a one horse town

And I barely pull my weight around

[Verse 7]

I'm a king of a one horse town

King of a one horse town

I'm a king of a one horse town

And I barely pull my weight around
