lyrics

I’m going south either way, I’m going south either way.
Pockets full of shame, I’m giving up the game, nothing but my name to help me now

This town is useless when it’s cold. This town is useless when it’s cold
We all just stay inside like tickin’ clocks just passin’ time, swore I’d never hide that way again.
Cuz my dad he taught me how to fall. My dad he taught me how to fall. Wind strong at your back and all your chips on black, just cover up your tracks when it all goes down

I’m going south either way, I’m going south either way.
Pockets full of shame, I’m giving up the game, nothing but my name to help me now

You say you don’t know me at all you say you don’t know me at all
One thing I can’t take is blaming all this shit on fate I took all that I made and time ran out, now.
I’m going south either way, I’m going south If I leave or if I stay.
Pockets full of shame, I’m giving up the game, nothing but my name to help me now
Pockets full of shame, I’m giving up the game, nothing but my name to help me now
