As recorded by Blackberry Smoke (From the 2024 Album BE RIGHT HERE) [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
Mama told me Daddy ran away with the circus

I guess it musta been the greatest show on earth

Preacher told me hell's full of them that deserve it

Bm
Good news and bad, son, which one ya want first
[Chorus]
C                    G
Sometimes you're the hammer

Sometimes you're the nail

C               G
Like my Daddy before me

        D
This is where the apple fell

C                   G
Beatin the odds and comin up roses

Em                C
Ain't my story to tell

                           D
The whole world swings the hammer

            G
And I'm the nail
[Verse 2]
G
Trouble seems to find me like it ain't even trying

Eye in the sky got my name in a file

Cop said, son, what the hell are you thinkin

Judge said, boy, you're goin away for a while
