You Know Me Better Lyrics

I don't know what I want in this life is it more than the thrills

Keep me struggling to find all the wine and all the wealth

You follow me through the trouble go and say what I wanted to hear

Go and find me in the gutter like a poet with no fear

And you lie awake at night you said I'm gone to West Virginia

All the white snow and trumpets play in the clearing of December

On a ferry I suppose as the river kept on moving

Now you know me better than all of my friends

yeah you know me better than all of my friends

Well I was born tired in the clearing of the sun

In a time of a struggle you kissed me and said

Come on, swim out on the ocean til' we can't see no land

Will it do me any harm to be happy again

I don't know what I want in this life is it over the hill

I was running in the darkness and behind all my bills

You followed me through the desert and the New York City lights

In the Paris of the South and the cold Minnesota nights

Yeah you know me better than all of my friends

Said the bottle to the spirit while the world was sinking in

I keep talking to myself every now and again

Yeah you know me better than all of my friends
