Denmark Girl (From a Tiny Desk)

from From a Tiny Desk by Henry Luther

lyrics

I've been tore up and tore down
From the roof to the floor now
I've been whiskey bent and hell bound
And mystified and spellbound
I've been worked up and wore down
From sunup to sundown
I've been held up and held down
Been lost and broken without you

And I've talked with the wise men
And drank with the fools
I've been locked up for fighting
And followed the rules
And I've been law abiding
And escaped with the jewels
And it's not for lack of trying
But I'm still lost and broken without you

I've been doing it all
But I still haven't made the call

And I've slept through the good times
And drank through the bad
And I've stayed up the hard nights
And crept through the sad
And I've skipped on the good wine
And drank what I had
And I'm not always on time
But I'm still lost and broken without you

Now I've gotta make the ends meet
Before I meet with the end
And I can't let my friends see
What I've become again
'Cause I'm often friendly
But uh... after five or ten
Someone might try to end me
'Cause I'm still lost and broken without you
