Chris Wall The Jagged Edge Lyrics

There's a hole in his soul that a river full of whisky could not fill
And Lord knows he tired to kill the pain inside with little pills
He'll take the stage at night and sing like there's no tomorrow
Throw his heart in every line in spite the pain and sorrow
And struggle to be heard above the chatter in the hall

On the jagged edge of a shattered dream
He's as hard a case as I've ever seen.
The fall was bad and the break weren't clean
On the jagged edge of a shattered dream.

Called a drunken roadhouse poet, in fact it reads better than it lives
He still posessed the gift but he'd forgotten how to give
And the agents took his money and the highway took his youth
Now he's fighting all his battles with just three chords and the truth
And the only thing that's left of her is a picture on the wall On the jagged edge of a shattered dream
He's as hard a case as I've ever seen.
Cause the fall was bad and the break weren't clean
On the jagged edge of a shattered dream.

If you're listening to me buddy keep on singin' loud and strong
Cause out there in the dark there's a lost and lonely heart that needs your song
This road don't go on forever, it will all end soon enough you'll find
So I'll see you down the higway and we'll grab one under one more neon sign

On the jagged edge of a shattered dream
He's as hard a case as I've ever seen.
Cause the fall was bad and the break weren't clean
On the jagged edge of a shattered dream.

On the jagged edge of a shattered dream.
