Back In My Own Hands Lyrics - Singles - Head East

Well I knew a girl, she was the child of the devil 

It took me so damn long to see 

That she could wrap me around her fingers 

Til there was nothin' left of poor old me 

I had a night job down in the city 

Where the hours seem to turn into days 

The frozen clock on the wall it wouldn't move at all 

I had to make my getaway 

So I laid my cards down on the table 

I had a feelin' I was ready and able 

Now I'm livin' it my own way 

I hear the music that I gotta play 

It's so easy wakin' up to the day 

With my life back in my own hands 

There are times when I can't sing this song 

When the days and nights have gone all wrong 

But with somebody to love, a little help from above 

I'll get my feet back on the ground before long 

Chorus 

Back in my own hands 

Back in my own hands 

Back in my own hands 

There are times when I can't sing this song 

When the days and nights are always goin' wrong 

But with somebody to love, a little help from above 

I'll get my feet back on the ground before long 

Chorus 

Now I'm livin' it my own way 

I hear the music I gotta play 

It's so easy wakin' up to the day 

With my life back in my own hands 

Back in my own hands 

Back in my own hands
