Lyrics Velvet Guitar (Acoustic Demo) - Alejandro Escovedo

My hands are turning numb
But I still gotta still strum
My velvet guitar
I don't care how long
Might write a sad one
Who's gonna sing them
This time?

My hands are turning numb
But I still wanna strum my
Velvet guitar
I don't care how long
Might write a sad one
Who's gonna blame him
This time?

Not gonna break him down

The rooster's in the trees
But he won't crow for me
He's wasted inside
Lost track of how long
Exactly what went wrong
But who's gonna blame him
This time?

Not gonna break him down
Not gonna break him down
Not gonna break him down

I hear her sing for me
But she won't cry for me
I'm wasted inside
Lost track of how long
What might have gone wrong
Who's gonna blame me
This time?

Not gonna break me down
Not gonna break me down
Not gonna break me down
Not gonna break me down
This time
