And now the gravity of trouble was more than i could bear, |
|
At times my luck was so bad, i had to fold my hands, |
|
Almost lost my soul, rarely i could find my head, |
|
Wake up early in the morning, feeling nearly dead. |
|
I was never afraid of danger, took trouble on the chin, |
|
Mountains i have climbed, that have killed a thousand men, |
|
Spent most of my lifetime downtown, sleepin' behind the wheel, |
|
Never needed anybody, i was king of the hill. |
|
[chorus:] |
|
Oh, when i think about the old days, |
|
Lord, it sends chills up and down my spine, |
|
Yeah life ain't what it seems, on the boulevard of broken dreams, |
|
Guess i opened my eyes in the nick of time, |
|
'cause it sure felt like the end of the line. |
|
No matter how hard i run, i just can't get away |
|
I try to do my best, but the devil gets in my way |
|
Spent most of my lifetime downtown, sleepin' behind the wheel |
|
'till it all came down to kill or be killed |
|
[chorus] |
