Shut It Tight Lyrics - Singles - T Bone Burnett

I find it hard sometimes to say the way that I feel 

I do the very things I hate to do 

I act like a child and I'm afraid of what is real 

And so I try to cover up the truth 

I stumble like a drunk along this crazy path I walk 

I have a hundred thousand questions too 

I'll go to any length to prove that nothing is my fault 

Then later on I will deny the proof 

I don't like to win but then again I hate to lose 

And in between is something I can't stand 

I don't care what you think and I hope that you approve 

I am just an ordinary man 

Sometimes I want to stop and crawl back into the womb 

And sometimes I cannot tell wrong from right 

But I ain't gonna quit until I'm laid in my tomb 

And even then they better shut it tight
