[Verse 1]
Hometown, same town blues
Same old walls closing in
Oh, what a life a mess can be
Well, I'm sitting here thinking of you, won't you give
A few thoughts to me?
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, time won't wait, better open the gate
And get out and start what needs to be done
It's winding down, there's much you missed
Working on that graveyard shift
[Chorus]
But I'm not saying things won't go wrong
As each day comes along
If what I see is true I could learn to believe
Can't look away
The powers that be
Might take it all away
Together we'll burn, together we'll burn either way
[Verse 2]
Some say a land of paradise
Some say a land of pain
Well, which side are you looking from?
Some people have it all
And some have it all to gain
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, a man in a tie will bum your dime
Before he'll break his twenty dollar bill
There's plenty of reasons in this world
For moving along or standing still
[Chorus]
But I'm not saying things won't go wrong
As each day comes along
If what I see is true I could learn to believe
Can't look away
The powers that be
Might take it all away
Together we'll burn, together we'll burn either way
[Verse 3]
There's too much time spent looking for a reason
It seems the simple ones beat the most truth
Oh, what a life a mess can be
Well, I'm sitting here thinking of you, won't you give
A few thoughts to me?
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, time won't wait, better open the gate
And get out and start what needs to be done
It's winding down, there's much you missed
Working on that graveyard shift
[Chorus]
But I'm not saying things won't go wrong
As each day comes along
If what I see is true I could learn to believe
Can't look away
The powers that be
Might take it all away
Together we'll burn, together we'll burn either way
