"Back On My Feet" lyrics - SEAN WATKINS

I've been angry
I have strayed
I've said words I never thought that I could say
And you were sad and sweet
Like an old bar song
But I'll be back up on my feet before too long
If you said you wanted me
It's 'cause I said it first
Words rang hollow 'til the emptiness became a thirst
I will drink those words 'til they made me strong

[Chorus:]
And I'll be back up on my feet before too long
I'll be back up on my feet before too long
Before too long

If you met me now
You never would have stuck around
No, you never would have stuck around

So I will lay me down
By the salty sea
And let the water pull the sand all over my body
To wash me clean, like a river stone

[Chorus:]
And I'll be back up on my feet before you know
I'll be back up on my feet before too long
Mmm

Back on my feet
Back on my feet
Back on my feet
