[Verse 1] Well, I've come to know the wishlist of my father I've come to know the shipwrecks where he wished I have come to wish aloud Among the overdressed crowd Come to witness now the sinking of the ship Throwin' pennies from the sea top next to it [Verse 2] And I've come to roam the forest past the village With a dozen lazy horses and my cart I have come here to get high To do more than just get by I have come to test the timber of my heart Yeah, I've come to test the timber of my heart [Chorus] And I've come To be untroubled in my seeking I've come To see nothing is for naught I have come to reach out blind To reach forward and behind For the more I seek, the more I'm sought Yes, the more I seek, the more I'm sought [Verse 3] Well, I've come to meet the sheriff and his posse To offer him the broad side of my jaw I have come here to get broke And then maybe bum a smoke And we'll go drinkin' two towns over after all Oh, we'll go drinkin' two towns over after all [Verse 4] Yeah, I've come to meet the legendary takers And I've only come to ask them for a lot Oh, they say I come with less Than I should rightfully posess I say "the more I buy, the more I'm bought" And the more I'm bought, the less I cost [Chorus] And I've come To take their servants and their surplus And I've come To take their raincoats and speed I have come to get my fill To ransack and spill I have come to trade the harvest for the seed Yeah, I've come to trade the harvest for the seed (hey) [Verse 5] Well, I've come to know the manger that you sleep in I've come to be the stranger that you keep I have come from down the road But my footsteps never slowed Before we met, I knew we'd meet Yes, before we met, I knew we'd meet [Verse 6] And I've come here to ignore your cries and heartaches And I've come to closely listen to you sing I have come here to insist That I leave here with a kiss I have come to say exactly what I mean And I mean so many things [Chorus] And you've come To know me stubborn as butcher! You've come To know me thankless as a guest So, will you recognize my face When God's awful grace It strips me of my jacket and my vest And reveals all the treasure in my chest
