True Men Lyrics by Jon DeRosa

A Wolf In Preacher’s Clothes

2012

I have smiled
I've  feigned surprise
I've  played the part, I've played the fool
And when I'm on fire
All my stunts backfire
He  who bleeds earns, this is true
I've  lead with the chin
I've lead with the cross
I've  been the brute, I've been the bleeder
And though queer-streeted
Down, out and defeated
He who bleeds earns, this is true
I've  been the grifter
I've been beholden
I've been a wolf in preacher's clothes
More Robert Mitchum
Than William Holden
One last haul down Thunder Road
I've been the grifter
I've been beholden
I've been a wolf in preacher's clothes
More Robert Mitchum
Than William Holden
One last haul down Thunder Road
I've set 'em up
I've knocked them down
I've been an off-key alley singer
I've woken the neighbors
After hard nights of labor
He who bleeds earns, this is true
I've woken the neighbors
After hard nights of labor
He who bleeds earns, this is true
I've woken the neighbors
After hard nights of labor
He who bleeds earns, this is true
