(C)2018 Don Paul Jankas
Was always ashamed
Of this broken smile
Always wanted hair
You could see for a mile
Here I am with my grinning gap
Hiding my scalp with a baseball cap
-chorus-
Take me as I am
You all be damned
Marilynn Monroe with her broken dreams
Elvis Presley in his denim jeans
Jimi strung out some say fatigue
Croce's plane hit a pecan tree
-chorus- 2x
From the king to the pauper
From the poet to the prophet
Quarterback to the gamer
The dealer to the rich man
The lion to the tin can
Is a grin you hold onto
