Once upon a time
|
They called me the bleeder
|
Well swimmin' up this river
|
With sentimental fever
|
But this ain't my first ride
|
It ain't my last try
|
Just got to keep a-movin' on
|
If they catch me ever
|
They'll throw me back forever
|
|
[chorus:]
|
I guess I should be ashamed
|
But I forget to be vain
|
Well I did the best I could I guess
|
But everything just bleeds
|
They say you're only sad and lonely
|
And no one is impressed
|
|
I sent it off in a letter
|
I need somethin' better
|
Than a nail and a hammer
|
To put me back together
|
But this ain't my first ride
|
It ain't my last try
|
Just got to keep a-movin on
|
Got to keep this together
|
Maybe next time is never
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
Sometimes I must confess
|
I do feel a little over dressed
|
Sometimes it's hard to tell the wishing from the well
|
Where you threw the penny and where it fell
|
|
I guess I should I should be ashamed
|
But I forget to be vain
|
Well I did the best I could I guess
|
But everything just bleeds
|
I guess I should be ashamed
|
|
But I forget to be vain
|
Well I did the best I could I guess
|
But everything just bleeds
|
They say you're only sad and lonely
|
And no one is impressed
|
