Axe To Grind Lyrics - Sawyer Brown

They tried to lose us in the hype of fortune and fame 

We've got them to thank and only us to blame 

Now the joker is dealing 'cause the king went blind 

We're stayin' out of the shuffle with an ax to grind 

We're out of the shuffle with an ax to grind 

chorus 

I've got by jeans on tight and my shades when it's sunny 

You can break my heart-but don't take my money 

It's a long long road and an uphill climb 

Just leave me my guitar - I'll have an ax to grind 

Leave me my guitar - I'll have an ax to grind 

Something we're not is what plenty of us were 

We've got houses and cars and people callin' us sir 

I'd like to give it all up and leave it behind 

And join a nameless bunch of pickers with an ax to grind 

A nameless bunch of pickers with an ax to grind 

chorus 

I've got by jeans on tight and my shades when it's sunny 

You can break my heart-but don't take my money 

It's a long long road and an uphill climb 

Just leave me my guitar - I'll have an ax to grind 

Leave me my guitar - I'll have an ax to grind 

They say our songs are simple and little too wordy 

A little bit fast and a little too dirty 

You don't make it down the track without any ties 

But we've made it this far with just an ax to grind 

chorus 

I've got by jeans on tight and my shades when it's sunny 

You can break my heart-but don't take my money 

It's a long long road and an uphill climb 

Just leave me my guitar - I'll have an ax to grind 

Leave me my guitar - I'll have an ax to grind
