It's getting harder every day
to make a stand
to take the stage
and you could use a win
the news is always bad it seems
troubled times
broken dreams
and your faith is wearing thin
the hours are long
and the pay is low
and you're barely getting by
but your back is strong
and you always show
for the curtain call on time
still you wait for an answer to your prayers
hoping that there's someone there
till then you're just a face in the crowd
crying out loud
Living on the road is hard
standing still
though you've traveled far
and you end where you begin
every night another town
what goes up
must come down
and here you go again
and the nights are long
and the pay is low
and you're barely getting by
but your back is strong
and you always show
for the curtain call on time
still you wait for an answer to your prayers
hoping that there's someone there
till then you're just a face in the crowd
for crying out loud
It's getting harder every day
to make a stand
to take the stage
and I could use a win
the news is always bad it seems
troubled times
broken dreams
and the hours are long
and the pay is low
and I'm barely getting by
but my will is strong
and I always show
for the curtain call on time
still I wait for an answer to my prayers
hoping that there's someone there
till then I'm just a face in the crowd
for crying out loud
for crying out loud
