29 - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Well, I crossed the fifty states

I missed a few, but who's to find

And I pruned my shitty courtship

By the age of twenty-nine

As a recluse through those [?]

Hid behind my tattered blinds

As a child I was not a bastard

And no sight for so sore eyes

When the wishing well seamed weary

And my [?] kissed the tide

Watched the moon pull out my demons

By the age of twenty-nine

Weathered hat and badge of problem

Took the takes for peace of mind

Everyone's got some escape plan

Though I've tried so many times

Growing old is just a pretense

How I've told so many lies

And I'd fucked a hundred daughters

By the age of twenty-nine

My poor heart's in Eden's garden

Lost more teeth than I can find

And my family grew tobacco

Way back in 'twenty-nine

Meet the scars and shacks I've slept in

Hang the bars and drugs to line

For the [?] a sorrow

You will find in twenty-nine

When the world starts closing in

You come to fear the addled times

Gonna hide your head in sorrow

By the age of twenty-nine
