Lyrics:
I'm a man of few words but a few is enough  
A man don't have to talk, he just gets up and walks when the going gets rough 
I've got feelings down deep, still you think you don't care 
Well I've made up my mind, gon’ to leave you behind and start living out there
So paint me on velvet and do not disguise 
The bright silver teardrops that you've brought to these eyes 
Hang me out by the roadside for the whole world to see 
 Jesus and Elvis, the Confederate flag and Willie and me
Ran away to a motel but before I checked in 
Met a bouncer named Steve and decided to leave 
For a gathering of men with our drums in our hands 
And our hearts on our sleeves we stood around in the rain 
Just sharing our pain and learning to grieve
