I´m not the same as I used to be All the things you´ve heard seem hard to believe
Haven´t always been good, never really been bad Most times I´ve been happy, yea sometimes I´ve been sad Sure I´ve made mistakes, haven´t we all I´ve been loose as a cannon and dumb as a wall Haven´t always been sober in counting my ducks And if I look back now I´ve had my share of luck
But the change didn´t come over night I´ve been searching for you all my life All the habits that I couldn´t handle I´ve swept them under the rug In exchange for the sweetest addiction You, my elusive drug
I´m going to stay now, I really like it here I may paint your picture, and I might grow a beard
There were times I was crazy couldn´t handle my life Don´t think you´d have liked me not at any old price
But the change didn´t come over night I´ve been searching for you all my life All the habits that I couldn´t handle I´ve swept them under the rug In exchange for the sweetest addiction You, my elusive drug
And I´ve taken the pills I got burnt out and chilled by the cold But I´ve no regrets and that being said You know cheap thrills can get pretty old
Yeah, Yeah, oh Yeah
But the change didn´t come over night I´ve been searching for you all my life All the habits that I couldn´t handle I´ve swept them under the rug In exchange for the sweetest addiction You, my elusive drug
In exchange for the sweetest addiction You, my elusive drug
