Smokin' Strings (feat. Billy Strings) - Jake Shimabukuro

In the cold early morning in the hills of Kentucky I woke to the sound of the rain And the girl from last evening laid silently sleeping Though I couldn't remember her name My head was a pounding and the sweat poured Around me like the faucet that she left on high, With a chip on my shoulder I'm another day older And I swear I could break down and cry I Never once made a dollar, which I didn't gamble, Or scramble to burn at both ends I've raged all night long, in the hour before dawn On spirits and bitters and blends What's left of my day might be crimson or Grey but never again black and white With a chip on my shoulder I'm another day older And I swear I could break down and cry I'm a fool with my money and I'm a fool with My drinking I'm sinking to bottom of the well, Adding fuel to the fire like my wildest desire Is to spend the next lifetime in hell I could cruise down to Hades, in a Snow white Mercedes and a devilish look in my eye With a chip on my shoulder I'm another day older And I swear I could break down and cry There's a hard place on one side and a Rock on the other, no corners to cut in this maze, Only one way to do it, just to grin and bear through it, I've been drinking up the courage for days So I'll drain every cup and keep stacking them up Till the sun stumbles out of the sky With a chip on my shoulder I'm another day older And I swear I could break down and cry I'll keep on this way till my last dying day, It's a blessingI've tried to disguise With a chip on my shoulder I'm another day older And I swear I could break down and cry

Alone for a while with myself I feel so at home in the shade Alone for the first time in my head I feel so at ease there instead Maybe I should leave my home Maybe I should slip away A home is a heartache, they tell me Come in leave your shoes at the door The phone never rings quite on time The paint is a dried pool on the floor Maybe I could finish this Turn my back and walk away Maybe I could slip away At home there's a fire you've left burning With the frosted designs outline the pane And the cold winter nights keep on turning Stealing memories of sunshine and of rain Maybe I could break this down Turn around and face the day Maybe I could slip away Alone for a while with myself I feel so at home in the shade Alone for the first time in my head I feel so at ease there instead Maybe I should leave my home Maybe I could slip away

All white as snow and black as night You know you can't give up the fight There with the stars up in the sky The angel band sings by and by I want to walk, I can't sit down I want the robe and I want the crown Fear not the day when all is lost This earthly wealth ain't worth the cost Shadows and lights in pairs that cling Allow your soul the right to sing All through the night the moon will shine The whispers heard defeat the time Allowed to be with feasting eyes And life alone it is the prize And all the things you thought you knew Accuse the sky of being blue Freedom From these trials and this troubled world below Freedom From these trials and this troubled world below

大地に光を 果てしない夢を 太陽にキスを 変わらぬ瞳を 雨上がりの 虹を追いかけた 黒い瞳に 映る光を 君の涙を そして笑顔を 僕はいつまでも 忘れないから 星の見えない夜には 夢みるのさ 目をとじて 名もないような花が いのちをふるわせて 咲いている 大地に光を 果てしない夢を 太陽にキスを 変わらぬ瞳を 星の見えない夜には 夢みるのさ 目をとじて 名もないような花が いのちをふるわせて 咲いている いのちをふるわせて 咲いている 大地に光を 果てしない夢を 太陽にキスを 変わらぬ瞳を
