Straight And Tall
Iron & Wine
[Verse 1] Don’t tell me all the shit you’ve done How you push your luck with everyone ’Cause you’re mean upbringing’s left you a mess Don’t tell me all the shit you’d say If some fool jerked you around thataway You ain’t done half of what you confess [Chorus] That ain’t you As far as I can tell That ain’t you Although you wear it well That ain’t you After all You’re just standin’ up layin’ down straight and tall [Verse 2] Don’t tell me that you understand How to brave the world and be a man Unless you must convince yourself Don’t tell me I should be like you I should learn from what you say and do Don’t ask the poor to share the wealth [Chorus] That ain’t you As far as I can tell That ain’t you Although you wear it well That ain’t you After all You’re just standin’ up layin’ down straight and tall
