May never be what you call a rock star
It's cool if I don't get there
I die just a sinner with a guitar
Johnny Cash middle finger in the air
Make a living on what's in the tip jar
Burn out like a neon buzz
I've been nothing but my old man's son
The best damn thing there ever was, but

Keep on singing what I know
Between a minor and a major
Keep pulling at the bittersweet
And if it ain't the latest flavor
Little bit of devil, little bit of savior
Whole lotta life cut like a razor
With some blue ink, a blank page
And an old six string, I bleed on paper

Yeah, I met a man at the crossroad
Suit and tie, with a smile like gold
He tried making me a deal
Like I had me a for sale sign hangin' on my soul
Said all I had to do was change my tune
I could cash that check
But I don't like the feeling of a rattlesnake
Boot heel on my neck, so

Keep on singing what I know
Between a minor and a major
Keep pulling at the bittersweet
And if it ain't the latest flavor
Little bit of devil, little bit of savior
Whole lotta life cut like a razor
With some blue ink, a blank page
And an old six string, I bleed on paper

Pulling out my heart
Showing these scars
Yeah that's the part that heals me
Chasing one more song
That cuts to the bone
Even if it kills me

But I keep on singing what I know
Between a minor and a major
I keep pulling at the bittersweet
Even if it ain't the latest flavor
Runnin' with the devil, riding with the savior
Whole lotta life cut like a razor
With some blue ink, a blank page
And an old six string, I bleed on paper

I bleed on paper
Keep on keepin' on
I bleed on paper
Bleed on paper
