Bold as Brass

Old lady with some tarot cards

Said step in side and let me see who you are

Living baby is the easy part

But it's hard as rain when you're living in the dark

Somebody told me of a shorter path

Well I'd be on it at the drop if a hat

You can keep your fire and leave me with the ash

Oh it must be easy when your bold as brass

I got no money and my feet are worn

I slept in a bed I just don't sleep anymore

Gonna try my luck till my back gets sore

Gonna try my luck and then I'll slip out the door

Somebody told me of a shorter path

Well I'd be on it at the drop if a hat

You can keep your fire and leave me with the ash

Oh it must be easy when your bold as brass

I got a cross to bare and a fence to mend

Trying to pickup shit from the cleaner end

Can't afford a fun so I'll pick up a pen

One way or the other I'm gonna wind up on the losing end well sir

Somebody told me of a shorter path

Well I'd be on it at the drop if a hat

You can keep your fire and leave me with the ash

Oh it must be easy when your bold as brass
