When I Come To Pledge My Heart

I have been through snow & water, I've worn holes clean through my boots
Done my best to keep a-movin', as my kind is prone to do
I've made my deals with devils, I arrived here from the dark
It won't be angels who present me, when I come to pledge my heart

I won't ask to be forgiven just cuz I ventured down this path
I've walked with both the saints and sinners. How much of which? Well, do the math
So now a gamble stands before you. No, I'm not trying to be smart.
I just figure, best be candid when I come to pledge my heart

Just another broken dreamer in my old common labor shoes
After years and over miles, come to pledge my heart to you

I had spent myself on others before I ever knew your touch
Never love just sort of lovers, never added up to much
And I've rehearsed this speech forever, but now I don't know where to start
The words aren't coming out so easy since I've come to pledge my heart
