I was an outsider kid
Picked on in school for the things that I did

Momma she was crazy, Daddy was gone
Same ol' story, same ol' song


My whole life's been a shame
It's been tough, being this way
Can't make others happy and keep yourself sad

That ain't what to do, that ain't where it's at

Oh, I, I've been searching and I can't get it right
Tell me what I've gotta pay to get into this fight
Oh, I, I've been lonely and my mind's not exactly right

I just need somebody to make me believe, I keep it so tight

Dropped outta school, I was high
Landed in Georgia, I tell ya why
Met a girl in Moscow, God she was fine

She loved me right, she worked as a mime

But then this guy came through my door

Crumbled my walls and I fell to floor
Sent me back to Alabama, home in a shack
But I got up and now I'm back


C2
Oh, I, I've been searching and I can't get it right

Tell me what I've gotta pay to get into this fight
Oh, I, I've been lonely and my mind's not exactly right
I just need somebody to make me believe, I keep it so tight


Oh, I, I've been lonely and my mind's not exactly right
I just need somebody to make me believe, I keep it so tight

I keep it so tight
