Tony Fulgham - Leadfield Lyrics

I sold water to a man drowning in a river
Gold to a man who only needed salt
Whiskey to a man with a rotten liver
And all any of them needed was nothing at all
I made kids dance like they were puppets on a string
I made their mamas cry for their very souls
I bought your voice when you only wanted to sing
And left you in the desert with an empty hole
But I ain't sleeping so good anymore
Been passing all the off ramps and open doors
Trying to find my way back home
But that road don't go by Leadfield anymore
Maybe I can build a place worth living
Maybe I can sell you something good
Better yet, a little less taking and more giving
But I'm not holding my breath in this neighborhood
Cause I ain't sleeping so good anymore
Been passing all the off ramps and open doors
Trying to find my way back home
But that road don't go by Leadfield anymore
Promises and empty salvation
Snake oil tastes like honey coming from me
The gig is up my cover's been blown
Not gonna take you back to Leadfield anymore
Cause I ain't sleeping so good anymore
Been passing all the off ramps and open doors
Trying to find my way back home
But that road don't go by Leadfield anymore
