Says she's had enough of me, I've had enough of her too.. I might as well go on and set her free, she's already turned me loose.. No fault, no blame, nobody done no wrong-.
I look into the mirror. Can almost count the years. The memories are clearer. Of all those things I feared. I watch the time pass slowly. It comes and goes like the waves.
Growing up as a young boy. Sometimes can be rough. At six years old I was thinkin'. Seven would be just enough. But I was wrong. Ooo I was wrong yea. Ten years old and I'm growin'.
Woke up this morning on the wrong side of bed. I got this feeling like a train's running through my head. Turned on my radio to the same old song. Some big mouth talking trying to tell us where the world went wrong.
Me and Billy boy and old lady Jane. We hitched a ride, took a fast movin' train. Got to the top with our heads spinnin' round. You never know just what you got until you're comin' back.
You¹re wearin out. your welcome wagon. Scraped ya up to drag ya. Home on the range you got the flame. So now you suck some honeys. Comb your hair get out of bed.
I walked alone my heart a little colder. Trying to make it on my way. I took a ride wasn't getting any older. Seventeen was here to stay. They caught us living a dream.
I see people walking down the street. Got their heads so high. They can't see their feet. With their blinders on. They walk the endless mile. Working for that perfect life of style.
When I was a young boy. they said you're only gettin' older. but how was I to know then. that they'd be cryin' on my shoulder. put your money in a big house.
There used to be a time when I thought I had the answers. Answers to the questions that nobody knew. Used to be a time when I had some time. But when I had the time, I didn? t know what to do.
Lightning strikes before my eyes. Makes them burn, makes them blind. I can catch what they throw at me. Heaven's fire sets me free. It's easy come and it's easy go.
All right yea. I met this girl around quarter to ten. We made it once she said "make me again". She wrapped her love around me all night long. In the mornin' we were still goin' strong.
I'm gettin' hot. I've got to give a shot. She wants it all. And that's a lot. . I'm gettin' ready. The love's lookin' steady. It's gettin' sticky. I thought she might miss me.
See me, feel me, come and touch me. The way I touch you. In the crossfire, live wire. Who said maybe. I said maybe won't do. . The sands of time are slipping by.
I was born on the dawn of a new society. And I feel lucky that my eyes could see. People standing up and being who they want to be. People made the music and the music made them free.
Workin' this job ain't payin' the bills. Sick and tired rat race takin' my thrills. Kickin' down a road, not a dollar in my pocket. Nighttime falls and I'm ready to rock it.
I count the falling tears. They fall before my eyes. Seems like a thousand years. Since we broke the ties. I call you on the phone. But never get a rise.
When you see your face in the mirror. Does it seem the end is gettin' nearer. All your life you spent as a wheeler. Now the hole you dug, it gettin' deeper.
Born and raised in a one dog town. That never took a chance or a dare. The times kept a changin' but it all passed 'em by. The prejudices in the air. Drove me to cocaine eyes by the age of one five.
Have mercy on a poor boy's heart. Cause I got the key that can make your motor start. Can't you love me. Without messin' me around. You took everything I got then kick me when I'm down.
