Take away.....
Well it's been ten years, and a thousand tears
And look at the mess I'm in
A broken nose and a broken heart,
An empty bottle of gin
Well I sit and I pray
In my broken down Chevrolet
While I'm singin' to myself
There's got to be another way
Take away this ball and chain
I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
I've searched and I've searched
To find the perfect life
A brand new car and a brand new suit
I even got me a little wife
But wherever I have gone
I was sure to find myself there
You can run all your life
But not go anywhere
Take away this ball and chain
I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
I'll pass the bar on the way
To my dingy hotel room
I spent all my money
Been drinkin' since a half past noon
I'll wake there in the mornin'
Or maybe in the county jail
Times are hard getting harder
I'm born to lose and destined to fail
Life will always be up and down, its my duty to myself to always try to be happy. Always try to look on the bright side, always try to be the best person I can. Be the most forgiving, be the biggest person in every situation, be the most selfless and be the most understanding.
Cause at the end of the day its just me and the guy in the mirror and if I cant look him in the face then I cant look anyone in the face.
That is what I've found the meaning of life is, to be honest and true.
