How I wound up here
I can't honestly say
Things were looking so clear
Until they went the wrong way
First I got laid off
Then they took my home
Then I developed this cough
After I broke all my bones
And I can blame the heavy hand of fate
And I can blame the evil, heartless state
And I can blame the whole wide world it is true
But I can never blame you
I can shake my fist
At the powers that be
I can make a long list
Of those who have done wrong by me
I can bang on the door
Demanding God set things right
I can burn up the floor
Dance with the Devil all night
(chorus)
You stood beside me when even I would have run
You said you thought you could see a golden ray of sun
(chorus)
