The band's singer, Bertie, is one of the most self-aware blokes you'll ever meet. At a ripe old age of (xx), he knows his flaws all too well. But, for the band, this song is about more than just Bertie's naughty ways - it's about the things we all depend on to get us by.

lyrics

(Please note: all lyrics are subject to the singer's interpretation)

I like my artificial courage
A shot of whiskey and beer
It makes feel like superman
I been leaning on it for years

I take my morning "medication"
"Hair of the dog" and I'm fine
I swear I'm gonna lay my demons down
I really mean it this time

I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday
Yeah, I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday

The prettiest girl I went to school with
Has got a monkey on her back
She traded her husband and children for some crystal-meth and crack
She said I'm checking into rehab cause I can't quit by myself
I'm gonna get back everything I lost
I'm gonna climb out of hell

I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday
Yeah, I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday

Stumbling block is just a stepping stone
It's not as hard as it seems
A backbone is better than a wishbone
And nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream

I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday
Yeah, I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday
Yeah, I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday

Goddamn, Robert, you are the man! Some damn fine southern blues, unlike any I have experienced. The replay value on this son of a bitch is outstanding. I believe I'm on my 10th spin after what a week? Dark lullabies to calm the disturbed & disturb the comforted I have to say, I have never heard a version of Killing Floor Blues quite like Robert's. Only one of the many reasons I keep coming back to this 💎 ©ough©ool

Truly a work of beauty, another masterpiece in Southern blues & rock. Robert has that swagger, not even bragging, but it's straight talent. This man is a god-damned prodigy, harkening back to even Robert Johnson, if I must be honest. Each rotation is just a joy. ©ough©ool
