Sometime in history I bet someone stood here and said "I tried and failed" With that in mind please send me on my way, pat me on the back and tell me it's ok I'm taking back everything that I said and replacing it with lead So when your balance is off just tell everyone it's all inside your head Sometime in history I bet someone stood here and said "It's a long way to the bottom" Sometime in history I bet someone pushed you off the ledge The life that you knew is just passing through - passing you Just the way that you wanted, riding off in the sunset Here's a nickel's worth of free advice: Next time don't mistake signing your life away for an autograph Don't make me laugh The life that you knew is just passing through, kicking dust into your eyes
