I used to be a Lion

(Billy Bob Thornton/Randy Mitchell)


I don't have a girl to bail me out tonight
And I don't have the means to help myself
And I don't have a friend to get me tight tonight
It seems like nothing's right when nothing's left

I bit the hand that fed me
And I made the knife that bled me
But I used to be a lion
I used to be a lion

Well, I don't have the pride to hold my head up high
And I don't have the strength to make the kill
These days I don't run free, I'm just passing by
Waking up at all is my only thrill
I lost the ones that love me
Now everyone's above me
But I used to be a lion
I used to be a lion

I bit the hand that fed me
And I made the knife that bled me
But I used to be a lion
I used to be a lion

I lost the ones that love me
Now everyone's above me
But I used to be a lion
I used to be a lion
