Well I wish I had a nickel
|
For every time I fell and blamed somebody else
|
I'd give a ton of money to the ones I've hurt
|
And I'd still be sittin' pretty well
|
I've spent years losin' touch of what's right and what's real
|
Caught up in these missions of my own
|
And you're tellin' me you think I've done so damn well
|
While we're sittin' here a thousand miles from home
|
There's a hole in your wisdom, a hole in your sky
|
Two holes in your head where the light's supposed to get by
|
|
Time to lock and load
|
Time to get control
|
Time to search the soul
|
And start again
|
|
So many times I've seen chances disappear
|
I hesitate and watch them slip away
|
Like the time I fail to spend with the ones I love
|
And it's gone as sure as yesterday
|
All these users and fakers, big time takers
|
Manipulating everyone they see
|
I get caught up in their schemes and their useless dreams
|
And the only one I have to blame is me
|
I get turned `round and twisted, pulled left and right
|
I can see where I'm goin', but I can't see the light
|
|
Time to lock and load
|
Come in from the cold
|
Take a different road
|
And start again
|
|
I can sit here, in the back half of my life
|
And wonder when the other shoe will fall
|
Or I can stand up, point myself home
|
And see if I've learned anything at all
|
Anything at all
|
|
Mediocrity is easy, the good things take time
|
The great need commitment, right down the line
|
|
Time to lock and load
|
Come in from the cold
|
Pay these debts I owe
|
And start again
|
|
I've been down this road
|
I've seen things get old
|
Time to get control
|
And start it all again
|
|
Time to lock and load
|
Time to get control
|
Time to search the soul
|
And start again
|
|
I've been down this road
|
I've seen things get old
|
Stand up, get bold
|
And start it all again
|
|
Time to lock and load
|
