You know that bad luck will eat you up

Whens it gonna end?


I twisted everything I could out of words


In real life my colors never blend




When I was a boy I said to myself


That I'd never lean on anyone else

Ohh, but I was wrong, yea I was wrong


And then my mother took me by the hands and then




Oh, oh how I prayed


That the good Lord would come and take me away


From this mess of a life that I'm in

And I fell to my knees oh and I cried


As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky


In this wreck of a life that I'm in

In this mess of a life that I'm in





Come on you got a lot to give, a lot to live for

And hope it all gets better


You twisted everything you can out of anything


I know it's gonna get better




And I'm so sick and tired of lying around


We're all waiting for someone to light up this town

Oh, it won't be long, it won't be long


And I know I should have left town but I stayed




Oh how I prayed


That the good Lord would come and take me away


From this mess of a life that I'm in

And I fell to my knees oh and I cried


As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky


In this wreck of a life that I'm in

In this mess of a life that I'm in





Oh and it feels like I'm writing a book and I can't get inspired

Sometimes It seems that I'm breathing in smoke


And my lungs are so tired

Oh well I'll just sleep it all off


And then hope that it don't get me fired

And I'm asking you please




Oh oh how I prayed

That the good Lord would come and take me away


From this mess of a life that I'm in

And I fell to my knees oh and I cried

As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky


In this wreck of a life that I'm in



And oh how I prayed


That the good Lord would come and take me away

From this mess of a life that I'm in

And I fell to my knees oh and I cried


As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky

In this wreck of a life that I'm in

In this mess of a life that I'm in




In this wreck of a life that I'm in

In this wreck of a life that I'm in

In this mess of a life that I'm in


In this mess of a life that I'm in

In this wreck of a life that I'm in

In this wreck of a life that I'm in
