Crooked Crown Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

1 I could say what I mean

2 (or I could dance around it)

3 It would feel good to scream

4 (I should quiet down)

5 I could be recognized

6 (or I could stay in bed)

7 Look the world in the eyes

8 (or just hang my head)

9 I'm holding steady this crooked crown

10 Knowing I'll lose it if I look down

11 When my ship has come in

12 (when it runs aground)

13 I'll be smiling again

14 (turn those corners down)

15 I've got something to say

16 (no one's listening)

17 It's my reckoning day

18 (so where's the reckoning?)

19 I'm holding steady this crooked crown

20 Knowing I'll lose it if I look down

21 I'm holding steady this crooked crown

22 My prodigy and my idiot play

23 For the prize of my delicate line

24 Somehow the score at the end of

25 The day is still 51-49

26 I'm holding steady this crooked crown

27 Knowing I'll lose it if I look down

28 I'm holding steady this crooked crown
