SWEET SHAME
(written by Kirby Brown and Beau Bedford)

I’m a little bit older and it scares me some

I’m wearisome from taking this high road

But nobody really loves a vagabond

And I ain’t one, I’m just the son of a good man

That told me that love is like a treasure map

And every man is trying to hide one in the top of his hat

Or in a coffee can, or in a tender hand that’s safe

It’s a sweet shame,

I could be sorry for all the things I am

And the things I ain’t

We could give it some time and say that

Things will change

But, baby, things don’t change

You’re hanging me up just like a common thief

If anything will lead you to Calvary

It’s the love you can give that no one will receive

And Eternity is all you can hope for

You’re holding my heart just like a cigarette

At the end of it you’re dragging what’s left out
