If your down, you might as well be all the way down...negatives piled up in a row
Lyrics
Well it seems that I have given you
All I have got—
You got up and left me Just like I was not!
Times change, and sometimes
I don’t know where I’ve got to go.
Just what I’ve got to do with my life,
And who I’ve got to do it for …
It’s a long road I’m traveling on today;
It’s a long time I’m trying to find my way!
I’m weary, and I don’t have the time to wait,
But I’m a long way from home
And there don’t seem to be no shade!
Well, it seems that I have wasted my time
On another fool-brained scheme—
Come out with no shirt on my back
And nothing left to dream!
By and by, I wonder why –
Is this what I’m put here for?
I just can’t seem to raise my face
Above this concrete floor!
I’m stuck in the mud and trying to fly away;
I just can’t think of a single thing to say!
I remember I thought to laugh in the face of fate,
Now the well’s all dry
And there don’t seem to be no shade!
It appears that you just drank my tears
And then left me for dead!
My hopes were high, my eyes in the sky—
You took it all instead!
I can see that my money ran out
And you ran out with it, too—
So I think that I’ll just close my door
If it’s all the same to you!
The words at my back are knives as I cross the gate;
They tell me I have arrived just a bit too late –
They won’t even give me the time to hallucinate!
I’m dying of thirst but Nobody won’t make no shade!
