Blood, Sweat, and Screw theTears ©2006 Roger Idaho

Well I?m a man seen my share of pain
And I?ll suck it up, if that?s what it takes
A little blood and a lot of sweat
If that?s what it takes then I don?t mind
But tears is where I draw the line

Well now it?s blood, sweat, and screw the tears
Done cried too many through the years
Please Lord save me from that pain
Well it?s blood, sweat, and screw the tears

Well back until a little while ago
If the good Lord had said that?s your row to hoe
Don?t think that I would even hesitate
To bear the load no matter what the pain
But lately, I?ve been thinking differently

Now once I was a happy man
Always gave all that I had
But since that time many things have changed
Giving all caused me too much pain
So now I sing a new refrain

Now I don?t mind back breaking work
And sweatin? in the sun for all I?m worth
But when it comes to tears I draw the line
So many tears that I have cried
More than enough for one lifetime

I once had a loving wife
She did me wrong, once or twice
Gave all to her that I had
She took it all, everything I had
Then she left me never to come back

There?s a little girl that I know
Said I?d take her to a show
That?s all I planned, nothing more
?fore I know it, my heart she owns
But sure enough ain?t long before she goes
Once again my heart is broke

So now I sit here all alone
Content, I am the king in my home
No one to cause my heart to ache
I?ve nothing left that?s fit to take
Seems like I?m finally safe
