You know that bad luck will eat you up
When`s it gonna end?
I twisted everything I could
Out of words
In real life my colours never blend
When I was a boy I said to myself
That I`d never lean on anyone else
Oh, but I was wrong
Yeah I was wrong
And my mother took me by the hands and then
Oh, oh how I prayed
That the good Lord would come and take me away
From this mess of a life that I`m in
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
In this wreck of a life that I`m in
In this mess of a life that I`m in
Come on you got a lot to give
A lot to live for
And hope it all gets better
You twisted everything you can out of anything
I know it`s gonna get better
And I`m so sick and tired of lying around
We`re all waiting for someone to light up this town
Oh, it won`t be long
It won`t be long
And I know I should have left town but I stayed
Oh how I prayed
That the good Lord would come and take me away
From this mess of a life that I`m in
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
In this wreck of a life that I`m in
In this mess of a life that I`m in
Oh and it feels like I`m writing a book and I can`t get inspired
Sometimes
It seems that I`m breathing in smoke and my lungs are so tired
Oh well
I`ll just sleep it all off and then hope that it don`t get me fired
And I`m asking you please
Oh oh how I prayed
That the good Lord would come and take me away
From this mess of a life that I`m in
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
In this wreck of a life that I`m in
And oh how I prayed
That the good Lord would come and take me away
From this mess of a life that I`m in
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
In this wreck of a life that I`m in
In this mess of a life that I`m in
In this wreck of a life that I`m in
In this wreck of a life that I`m in
In this mess of a life that I`m in
In this mess of a life that I`m in…
