[Verse 1]

No one on this

 side of town

Knows a good p

lace for a boy

 to drown
            
They look at m

              
e so strange w

       
hen I talk
          
I wish I was a

              
 tradesman lea

              
rnin' from som

   
e beat down ol

d layman
          
On some hillsi

de they ain't 

named yet
              
Sleepin' next 

    
to mountain fi

re smoke


[Verse 2]

And everyone l

ately's scarin

' me
           
It's all backd


oor deals and 

therapy
            
And the only c

              
allous I've gr

             
own's in my mi

nd
          
I wish I was a

              
 tradesman pla

              
yin' with some

   
 tuned-up tigh

t string band
            
Somewhere out 

              
by the badland

              
s way past clo

      
sin' time


[Chorus]
              
So if you want

            
 to trade I'd 

            
say it's a har

         
d earned mile
            
I want to swea

             
t like hеll, t

             
hrow a hammer 


down
            
And know the o

             
ld feelin' of 

             
a five o'clock

 
 smilе
           
And know I did

             
n't take no ea

            
sy way out

[Verse 3]

There's someth

ing more that 

I need
     
than accolades

 and sympathy
              
Fatiguing in t

              
he summer heat

            
 while they sm

        
oke big cigars

So give me som

ething I can't

 fake

That rich boys

 can't manipul

ate

Something real that they can't take
            
Cause lord I'm

          
 not your star


[Chorus]
              
So if you want

            
 to trade I'd 

            
say it's a har

         
d earned mile
            
I want to swea

             
t like hеll, t

             
hrow a hammer 


down
            
And know the o

             
ld feelin' of

 smilе
           
And know I did

             
n't take no ea

[Outro]

Everyone latel

y's scarin' me
         
It's all backd

oor deals and 

therapy
            
The only callo

              
us I've grown 

         
is in my mind
