Sam Roberts Band - The Ballad Of Ben Blank lyrics

[Sam Roberts Band - The Ballad Of Ben Blank lyrics]

A rock and roll singer
A real humdinger
Solid gold I'm a six string gun slinger
I'm a name-taker and a deal-breaker
I've been told I'm just a masterpiece faker

I give tough love
Ain't gonna preach to you
You wanted rough stuff
I'm gonna teach it to you
Still an upsetter
Still a go-getter
Forty seven still a wannabe jet setter

Doom ditty doom ditty doom ditty doom
Doom ditty doom ditty doom ditty doom
Doom ditty doom ditty doom ditty doom
Doom ditty doom ditty doom ditty ditty ditty

I'm outta left field
I ain't well-heeled


Full of holes still baby I'm the real deal
I've been a show stopper
A turnstile hopper
Freelanced as a second hand name-dropper

You gotta listen for the life that's calling you
Listen to your heart if your heart is true
Listen for the life that's calling you
Listen to your heart if your heart is true

I'm a bad dream
I got one speed
No gears just straight ahead full steam
I'm like quicksand
I'm a gold-panning man on a mission
I'm a bona fide loose cannon

Doom ditty doom ditty doom ditty doom
Doom ditty doom ditty doom ditty doom
Doom ditty doom ditty doom ditty doom
Doom ditty doom ditty doom ditty ditty ditty

A rodeo clown
Born lowdown
Just a tumbleweed rolling into your town
Still a hot potato
Still a perpetrator
Still a shaky hand, black heart operator

You gotta listen for the life that's calling you
Listen to your heart if your heart is true
Listen for the life that's calling you
Listen to your heart if your heart is true

I left my name in the river
My face in the mirror
All thoughts in my mind
And walked on, no shadow behind me
A fire inside me
To see what I'd find

I'm a rhinestone renegade
And my heart is deafening
A mysterious barricade
I'm a shotgun changeling

I left my name in the river
My face in the mirror
All thoughts in my mind
And walked on, no shadow behind me
A fire inside me
To see what I'd find

Doom ditty doom ditty doom ditty doom
Doom ditty doom ditty doom ditty ditty ditty

You gotta listen for the life that's calling you
Listen to your heart if your heart is true
Listen for the life that's calling you
Listen to your heart if your heart is true

Doom ditty doom ditty doom ditty doom
Doom ditty doom ditty doom ditty ditty ditty
