Lyrics
You've got a life and you're trying hard to live it
but you're always on the run
and now you find you're right back where you started
still looking for someone
Some people say should be doing something
Responsibilities
Sometimes it's hard when a situation changes
it becomes so hard to see
When everyone tells you what is right and what is wrong
and you know that you're gonna be alright
They do not know exactly what you're going through
and you know that you'll try with all your might
CHORUS:
Just don't end up right back where you started
not a very good place to be
You've got to find another way around it
Trust in your ability, your ability
You've got dreams like everyone around you
It's time to live them out
You've heard the lies, you see those money makers
treat you like you're down and out
But now it's time to leave it all behind you
It's been holding you back for years
Just let it roll away with all that livin that's been filled with many tears
Now everyone tells you bout the good that's in a life
of a man, a woman and a child
Sweet dreams will carry you a long, long way from home
and you know that you're always running wild, always running wild.
CHORUS:
Just don't end up right back where you started
not a very good place to be
You've got to find another way around it
Trust in your ability, your ability
