lyrics

My Whole Life Is Over (All Over Again)
(Aaron Lee Tasjan)

Summer has surrendered, the boys are back in town
The kids are going crazy, the deal is going down
And I'd have to be a liar to say you never crossed my mind
Cause I thought of you a shit-ton when I was doing time
I got beat down by the system
I got picked up by my folks
I got drunk instead of crying
It's my favorite little hoax
This year the poetry was sloppy, this year everybody died
America the beautiful, God's no longer on your side

Chorus
I finally got it where I want it and there's no need to pretend
And my whole life is over, all over again

Love is still the answer to a question never posed
All dressed up for the let down in a dirty pair of clothes
I fell in love so many times today and no one knew but me
I'm a terrible secret keeper when there's secrets I must keep
So, if I tell you one please promise as I promise this to you
That a promise is a freak show and I'm a freak show, too
And freaks though sometimes kept and put upon display
Are often also broken in their funny little way

Chorus

Roll another number, cause what else can you do?
When there's a pistol of opinions and it’s pointed right at you
And though I never see it coming and feel foolish in the dark
My eyes will often wander till I know it in my heart
My mind is full of games, I haven't got the touch
I think I don't know anything, I know I think too much
And it's a good fight that I'm fighting, but God knows what I'm fighting for
The kind of battle hymns I've written have all been sung before

Chorus

J.T.
by Steve Earle & The Dukes

supported by 31 fans who also own “My Whole Life Is Over (All Over Again)”

The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'. Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
