There's a flood in the suburbs Where will all the water go? I'm down at your shack Hangin' on to your back door You tell me you're the kind That likes to change your mind And when you start to rain, you pour But this dam of my heart just can't hold much...

I'm ridin' through the middle of some godforsaken town Dark figures from the shadows, they're tryin' to cut me down Some hero of the hour, needs a rival of some kind So don't talk to me right now, I've got survival on my mind It might seem a little strange to...

I opened the blinds in a Texas Motel room When the sun blasted in, I saw it in you I been a rollin' and a ramblin' all over creation Rollin' down the highway lookin' for the truth I saw it in you I saw it in you I woke up my sidekick, "It's a long way to LLa...

I'll be your fool, I'll be your lovin' loser I'll be your ridicule I'll be the one you make fun of When all your plans fall through Because you sure need a fool I'm not alone, I've seen the one's you run to I've known the ones you've known I've seen the ones...
