It Ain't All Flowers - Sturgill Simpson

Cleaning out the darkest corner of my mind

Taking all my full circles, and making straight lines

Been getting to the bottom of the bottom getting to me

Been holding up the mirror to everything I don’t want to see

But it ain’t all flowers, sometimes you gotta feel the thorns

And when you play with the Devil you know you gonna get the horns

Been dancing with demons all my life

Every time I find my groove they cut in like a knife

Been a sin eater oh since the day I was born

Tired of feeling weighed down from carrying round all the pain that keeps me

torn

So I pray when I lay me down to die

Grab a glass of wine and a seat to dine and go ahead and eat the whole damn pie

But it ain’t all flowers, sometimes you gotta feel the thorns

And when you play with the Devil you know you gonna get the horns
