Piece of Work

by Will Kimbrough

from the album License to Chill

Lyrics

I’m a piece of work, I’m iron and lace
I’m shy, I’m right up in your face
I’m all dumbfounded, stubborn as an ass
Sharp as an arrow in a pile of glass
I’m a sweetheart, genius, reckless jerk
Lord, have mercy, I’m a piece of work

Well the Lord made me on a long thin limb
Made sure I’d remember him or her
In the middle of a long dark night
Creation crazy, death-sheet white
Made in the image of a lion shocked lamb
I am who the hell I am
Even better, bad to worse,
Down to the letter, I’m a piece of work

(Toby Keith)
I’m a piece of work I’m an angels fiend
Bathed in lavender and gasoline
Scared brave, shallow in an ink black well
Lightly browned in the fires of hell
Wicked, holy, full on fake
Best known for my big mistake
I’m zen wise, peaceful, gone berserk
Good God almighty, What a piece of work.

I’m a dreadful sight, I just don’t care
Spent all morning pull out my hair
Woke at dawn with a crazy spin
I was half the day trying to glue back in

(Jimmy)
Mother, bloody mary, please
Wipe that smile right off your knees
I’m the CEO of the mailroom clerks
Lord have mercy, I’m a piece of work

I’m a piece of work, I’m a love sick boy
Cloth cap, caviar, and corduroy
All over the map, just lost in space
With a filthy mind and a choirboy’s face

(Toby)
Heels up, head down, straight on through
Watch out woman, I’m a get to you
I’m a gladiator with a mind to irk
I’m a see you later, I’m a piece of work
