lyrics

Once, I was king of the world
and I ruled the daytime, and I slept through the night
But now, I sit and wait
for my songs to be heard by no one

But when the Gangs of Danville rise up from the shadows
inspired by lonely hearts, I will bring you home
and you will know who you are
When the songs of winter have fought their battles
and you cannot hear my voice, I will bring you home

Tie me up and pull me in,the wind is getting cold
I cannot face the darkness and I will not chase the old
Tie me up and pull me in,the wind is getting cold
I cannot face the darkness and I will not chase the old

Tie me up and pull me in,the wind is getting cold
I cannot face the darkness and I will not chase the old

We'll sing Wagon Wheel all night, just watch me come alive
a Southern Comfort masterpiece with vanity intwined
