Beggar’s Song (stripped) Songtext
von Matt Maeson

Jesus, come talk to me
I am but a blind mess, I am wild and free
I know that I need us, more than I need me
One more whiskey, I′m wild and free

Oh, but I'm a beat down, washed up, son of a bitch
I got one more cigarette, and all my money is spent
But I′ma be damned if I let it keep me down
Oh yeah, I'm a beat down, washed up, son of a bitch
I got one more cigarette, and all my money is spent
But I'ma be damned if I let it keep me down

Oh my mother, Mary, come walk with me
I am on four drugs, I am wild and free
I know that I failed less, the less I knew me
Wander through the darkness, and come walk with me


Oh, ′cause, I′m a beat down, washed up, son of a bitch
I got one more cigarette, and all my money is spent
But I'ma be damned if I let it keep me down, yeah, yeah
Oh, I′m a beat down, washed up, son of a bitch
I got one more cigarette, and all my money is spent
But I'ma be damned, if I let it keep me down, yeah, yeah, yeah

You know that it′s not over, it's okay to let yourself hurt
Swimming in the murky water, won′t you come on out? Yeah, yeah
You know that it's not over, it's okay to let yourself hurt
Swimming in the murky water, won′t you come on out? Yeah, yeah

We sing a beat down, washed up, beggar song
And we sing it even louder when the money is gone
Because we′ll be damned if we let it keep us down, yeah, yeah
Oh, I'm a beat down, washed up, son of a bitch
I got one more cigarette, and all my money is spent
But I′ma be damned if I let it keep us down, yeah, yeah

You know that it's not over, it′s okay to let yourself hurt
Swimming in the murky water, won't you come on out? Yeah, yeah
You know that it′s not over, it's okay to let yourself hurt
Swimming in the murky water, won't you come on out? Yeah, yeah


We sing a beat down, washed up, beggar song
And we sing it even louder, when the money is gone
Because we′ll be damned if we let it keep us down, yeah, yeah
Oh, I′m a beat down, washed up son of a bitch
I got one more cigarette, and all my money is spent
But I'ma be damned if I let it keep me down
