Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I had a good blade

And a road in my feet

A pack full of plans

And a wind for the heat

I slept by the rails

With the dogs and the rain

Then the whole damn world

Went crooked in my vein

[Pre-Chorus]

I laughed at the kings

I laughed at the law

I had my own way

Till I lost it all

[Chorus]

I used to be an adventurer like you

Then I took an arrow in the knee

I used to be an adventurer like you

Now I limp for bread and tea

(hey, hey)

Now I limp for bread and tea

[Verse 2]

At dawn by the mill

I held out my hand

One eye on the pie

One eye on the sand

A coin in the cup

And a grin on the face

But every hard mile

Leaves its mark in place

[Pre-Chorus]

So pass me a scrap

Or a hot little flame

I’m still in the game

Just a little less tame

[Chorus]

I used to be an adventurer like you

Then I took an arrow in the knee

I used to be an adventurer like you

Now I limp for bread and tea

(hey, hey)

Now I limp for bread and tea

[Bridge]

If you see me by the fire

With my boots half-tied

I’m not done running

I’m just bruised inside

Call me old, call me slow

Call me what you need

But I still know the roads

And I still know the weeds

[Chorus]

I used to be an adventurer like you

Then I took an arrow in the knee

I used to be an adventurer like you

Now I limp for bread and tea

(hey, hey)

Now I limp for bread and tea
