Matt Simons – With you Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong
And I wanted to die
That’s when …
[Verse 1]
Got some money, got some cash
I’m rich and now I’m sad
And I wonder if I’m sad about the money that I have
Got some boats on my plane
At the hotel …
[Intro]
Yeah
Polishin’ a goddamn sword, you know what I’m sayin’?
Polishin’ a sword (Uh, uh, uh, uh)

When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop

On …
Fake roses1 on the mantle
Elvis postcards on the fridge
Ed lays softly by the ringer
Baby’s sleeping in the crib2
Old broken taped up tail light
On momma’s Monte Carlo
She don’t open all the gas bills
Just leaves it on the dashboard3
It’s a low and lonesome song
When the wind sweeps through the pine4
She just turns the TV on
Puts her mind on better times5
Takes the long way home from work
Car parked on the wrong side of the bridge6
Country gold, Saturday night, and smokes one
You don’t have to tell me any of this7
It’s a low and lonesome song
When the wind sweeps through the pine
She just turns the TV on
Puts her mind on better times [x2]
Your heart is breaking
I hear what you’re saying
You don’t have to tell me anything [x3]8
He won’t come around again
She don’t open that front door9
She hears that low and lonesome sound
She don’t answer anymore.10
