Bluewater Revival - Before My Fall

Crippled by nicotine Runnin' off a heavy steam Tryin' ta find my place in this world Middle class or lower middle Always playin' second fiddle Always second choice for the girls Mom and Dad fell out a love Fought and yelled, and pushed and shoved And I found every good thing, it can't last Knowin' now what I went through Wasn't really nothin' new And kids like me and you grew up too fast Out the door and off ta work They pay you by your dollars worth And I saved every penny I could find I heard that you could buy a dream They'll write all of the songs you sing And pay you pretty well, if you'll just mind Broadways full of hungry souls And all of them have common goals And sadly none of them are really free Every bar a different cage The only difference is the stage And none of them will ever once see me One day, I'm gonna make it One day, I'll reach the shore One day my momma will know all the reasons I don't come home anymore But it's alright, I'm still breathin' Don't have ta fight, because I'm leavin' Don't know where I am bound but I don't care at all Just know I gave my best before my fall Broken people all around The silence is the only sound And if you listen close enough you'll hear People just like you and me But no one sees our history So at the least they try ta be sincere Watchin' words go up in smoke With lonely melodies I wrote And somehow never fit together right I'm caught between some gasoline And these sad songs I'll never sing To just get drunk and have a fire tonight Oh, movin' forward if forward is backwards This ol' Ford is movin' faster Than these county roads were built ta hold I'm feenin' feelin' broke and useless Seen as young and seen as clueless I guess we'll understand when we get old Oh, but one day I'm gonna make it One day, I'll reach the shore One day my momma will know all the reasons I don't come home anymore But it's alright, I'm still breathin' Don't have ta fight, because I'm leavin' Don't know where I am bound but I don't care at all Just know I gave my best before my fall Crippled by nicotine Runnin' off a heavy steam Tryin' ta find my place in this world
