Artist/Band: Bonnie Raitt
Lyrics for Song: Crooked Crown
Lyrics for Album: Souls Alike [2005]



(Maia Sharp - David Batteau)



I could say what I mean (or I could dance around it)

It would feel good to scream (I should quiet down)

I could be recognized (or I could stay in bed)

Look the world in the eyes (or just hang my head.)



I'm holding steady this crooked crown

Knowing I'll lose it if I look down.



When my ship has come in (when it runs aground)

I'll be smiling again (turn those corners down)

I've got something to say (no one's listening)

It's my reckoning day (so where's the reckoning?)



I'm holding steady this crooked crown

knowing I'll lose it if I look down

I'm holding steady this crooked crown.



My prodigy and my idiot play

For the prize of my delicate line

Somehow the score at the end of the day

Is still fifty-one, forty-nine.



I'm holding steady this crooked crown

Knowing I'll lose it if I look down

I'm holding steady this crooked crown...
