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

He thinks about that little girl
And the one he has at home
And wonders what if that was my little girl
Walkin down that road alone

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

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

To this world I’m unimportant
Just because I have nothing to give
So you call this your free country
Tell me why it cost so much to live

I try to hold this Under control
They can't help me 'Cause no one knows

I'm blind and shakin'
Bound and breaking
I hope I make it through all these changes
