Heyyyy Now hear me out [Coughs] (Verse 1) I offer you this fireweed, A wildflower, the vagabond's breed. (The vagabond's breed) Plucked from the ditch, by the dusty road's edge, A humble bloom, from the wasteland's ledge. The wasteland's ledge (Verse 2) I offer you this fireweed, A wildflower, the vagabond's creed. (The vagabond's creed) Like a drunkard's dream, gone to seed, A week I've roamed, lost and unfreed. (Verse 3) Woke up in a puddle, with a head full of pain, No roses bloomed, no sweet refrain. Just this fireweed, in this desolate space, A mirror of my own disgrace. In that roadside ditch, my senses did fade, Like a hog in the mud, my soul betrayed. Buzzards circled, a cow lowed in the heat, Back to the wasteland, my bitter defeat. The vagabond's breed (Verse 4) I offer you this fireweed, A wildflower, the vagabond's deed. (The vagabond's deed) Plucked from the ditch, where my sorrows breed, A symbol of the life I lead As the vagabond's breed (Verse 5) This fireweed's like the giver, you see, A weed in life's garden, wild and free. What else can a wanderer bring back from the road, But a withered bloom, a heavy load? Yet I offer this gift, with a heart sincere, A plea for forgiveness, a repentant tear. Soon it will wither, in the vase it won't last, Like every promise, fading too fast Fading too fast Too fast, baby (Outro) I offer you this fireweed, A wildflower, the vagabond's plead (The vagabond's plead) Plucked from the ditch, where my sorrows feed, A simple offering, a heartfelt need No need for mercy A drink That's all I need Anymore No need for mercy A drink That's all I need Anymore
