lyrics

when i started out this ride a smile is all you'd see
flying high inside my mind on the drugs you like to leave
time went by you left my side but still I couldn't be
so i just went on until i saw the path in front of me

I know that my mind is running dry
and I know something just ain't right
my life seems to be running out of time
my whole life is a lie

went down to a place that I never knew
you told me to talk to Tony he'll know what to do
but when I got downtown I was shaking in my boots
seeing what I saw that day would put any man in a noose

you know if I could try and do it again
I would maybe take my time this time
so when you see me at the staring line
you know this time I'll do it right

now the clouds are rolling in and weather getting cold
it would seem like time to turn back all the goods are sold
I've might've gotten thing far by doing what I'm told
but now I ride on this new path forgetting about the old

I know that my mind is running dry
and I know something just ain't right
my life seems to be running out of time
my whole life is a lie
