In the glare of a neon sign
She laid her body down
The damned walked in beside her
And laid his money down.
He said don't try to scream now
But I want this one to hurt
And tonight my pretty one
I'm gonna get my money's worth

Maybe I'm just crazy or the devil got inside
But either way my soul is gone, And I'll end this all tonight
The one hand throws the whiskey, and the other throws the gun
As he cries out to the heavens
I am not my father's son

This life is mine and I am my own

If this keeps me away much longer
I dont know what i will do
Youve got to understand its a hard life
That im going through

And when the night falls in around me
I dont think ill make it through
Ill use your light to guide the way
Cause all I think about is you

And all these days i spend away
Ill make up for this i swear
I need your love to hold me up
When its all too much to bear

I let those hard days get me down
And all the things I hate got in my way
I could of screamed without a sound
I found myself silenced by those things they say

As you turned to walk away
I saw another look in your eye
And even though it hurt like it did
I couldn't let this be your goodbye.

This road I walk is paved with broken promises I've made
At least a million times I've fallen
But never will I break

In the haze of a smoky room
He chokes that bottle down
It's been a month since he saw her face
Underneath the blood stained gown
