I wear a ring on my hand so I know where I live
I keep a sin in my heart so I know to forgive
And I run from my love so I can return home
I complain of my freedom wherever I roam
My past is a map that is burned at the edge
I trampled my song while I was pulling the sledge
And I ruined my eyes at the helm of a ship
Now I'm watching tv while you empty my clip
The bell's always ringing
Except when I'm singing
The devil comes round with his rattling jar
Wherever we are
My children are grown and my mind is in half
I drink through the pain and I smoke for a laugh
And I'll never confess because my god isn't real
I work and I play behind big william's wheel
The bell's always ringing
Except when I'm singing
The devil comes round with his rattling jar
Wherever we are
