13 in the thick of a cornfield I learned to fight, keep roads tied, and not chill Never did change, stayed strange, hopped a train
My first chance I got out of smallville Life has it´s way of movin´ you on, don´t it?
My first stop was a pawn shop Dropped a pretty penny for a cheap fender with a song in it I had a quick right hand, and an old band I thought good friends would make a good band Life has it´s way of provin´ you wrong, don´t it?
I´ve been right and I´ve been wrong Somewhere in between for so long Live the night, miss the light, and I´ve been shown it Life has it´s way of keepin´ you strong, don´t it?
So there I was, a long way from nowhere Fried mind, spare time and a blank stare I was just numb enough not to feel a thang After all we didn´t share a set of rings Besides, how bad could it be! She never found out I´d never come clean Life has it´s way of leadin´ you on, don´t it?
I´ve been right and I´ve been wrong Somewhere in between for so long Live the night, miss the light, and I´ve been shown it Life has it´s way of keepin´ you strong, don´t it?
Well now, have you ever been down the old back road? On time borrowed It´s a trip, it´s a bitch, it´s an on and off light switch Nobody follows Everybody´s got their own past Skeletons to stash, don´t look back if you do laugh Life has it´s way of movin´ you on, don´t it?
