Well I suppose that I got nothing
But a monkey on my back
I've lost the will of trying

And it's never coming back
I'm sick of seeing people
Breaking hearts for fun

They laugh before it's time to die
Then cry beneath the gun


Well I don't know what's going down
Maybe someday I can leave this town
Can't kill the pain so I'll do it once again

And the nights are so damn long

Got seven things to live for

But only one that keeps me warm
It gives me such an attitude
But shelter from the storm

Well sober life and bull%#@!
Is getting to my nerves
I didn't see it coming

I went straight right through the curve

And last night I had a dream

I made love like a mean machine

But there's something in the way

The price I have to pay
For waiting patiently
Only I can set me free

There's something in the way
Just give me one good reason to stay


Well I suppose that I got nothing
But a monkey on my back
I've lost the will of trying

And it's never coming back
I'm sick of seeing people
Breaking hearts for fun

They laugh before it's time to die
Then cry beneath the gun


I don't know what's going down
Maybe someday I can leave this town


But there's something in the way
The price I have to pay
For waiting patiently

Only I can set me free
There's something in the way
Just give me one good reason to stay


Long ride down misery lane
No hard feelings just feel the pain

Come along honey let's do it once again

Going down

Now I have to turn around
I ain't going nowhere
Ain't going nowhere and baby

Make damn sure that I don't care

But there's something in the way

The price I have to pay
For waiting patiently
Only I can set me free

There's something in the way
Just give me one good reason to stay
