Give Way Lyrics by The Americans

Stand True

2022

Kissed your mother and father goodbye
Watched the world through meager eyes
Soon madness spread through everything you own
And the skin that holds your bones
Drive a long way in a borrowed car
Chasing visions, whatever they are
Give me a place in your lonely mind
Give me a piece of that heartache that's hard to find
Just don't give way to that nine pound hammer
Climb down deep in that lonesome canyon
You're out beyond a world you abandoned
Don't give way to that nine pound hammer
You're an old, good friend to me
And your own worst enemy
You learned the truth about the world within your mind
And there is no other kind
When you give way to that nine pound hammer
Climb down deep in that lonesome canyon
Out beyond the world you abandoned
Don't give way to that nine pound hammer
It'll fix your feet so you cannot walk
Fix your tongue so you cannot talk
Fix your eyes so you cannot see
Fix your heart till you're lost at sea
You cracked the weakest, bravest smile
I pulled up a chair to talk awhile
You laid a hand on me, and then you said
Friends, there are no friends
Then you gave way to that nine pound hammer
Climbed down deep in that lonesome canyon
Out beyond a world you abandoned
You gave way to the weight of that nine pound hammer
