A Blessing And A Curse Lyrics - A Blessing And A Curse - Drive By Truckers

When it all comes down 

There'll be nothing left to catch you but ground 

It's calling your name and filling your head 

With delusions of glory 

Is that how you're gonna write your story? 

Down in your time as a high-flying flame out? 

Sucking on what's left of your trust fund? 

Sucking on the end of a shot gun? 

But there's more here than meets the eye 

The real story is under the surface 

We're all so in love with the artifice 

We don't dare look too close 

It's a blessing and a curse 

Watch out, Eugene, you don't make things worse 

Wild dreams come true, what to do then? 

Confusion and glory 

A man's got to think it all through 

Got to do what you got to do 

It's itching to conquer and take you 

Itching to make a mistake out of you 

It's a blessing and a curse 

I wish it didn't hurt so much 

I wish it didn't hurt so much 

I wish it didn't hurt so much
