Maria Daines ~ Losin’ the Will
’Losin’ the Will’
I told you yesterday the wheels come off
Yah built it, broke it and the wheels come off
Hit it with a hammer, don’t it give you a thrill
Roll it like thunder
Losin’ the will
Heavy-duty chain but it ain’t gonna roll
Smashin’ up a wreckage but it ain’t gonna roll
Bust it like china, punch it out with a drill
Steel boots n’ muscle
Losin’ the will
You throw it down n’ haul it up
Stick a flag on the top for good luck
Find a stash in the back, hide it down the track
Last piece of gold in Louisville
Losin’ the will
I told you years ago, time will tell
Ain’t find your fortune at the bottom of the well
What you got now, just a twenty dollar bill
Carvin’ buckets in a sawmill
Losin’ the will
You lookin’ everywhere for something to fight
Belt full of bullets ain’t gonna save you tonight
Screamin’ full of bourbon, hear your name on the hill
Folks is waving farewell
Losin’ the will
You throw it down n’ haul it up
Stick a flag on the top for good luck
Find a stash in the back, hide it down the track
Last piece of gold in Louisville
Losin’ the will
I told you yesterday the wheels come off
Yah built it, broke it and the wheels come off
Hit it with a hammer, don’t it give you a thrill
Roll it like thunder
Losin’ the will, hey
Losin’ the will, hey
C’mon, losin’ the will, hey
Losin’ the will, hey
Losin’ the will, hey
Losin’ the will
Losin’ the will
