Lyrics
Getting out of bed is getting so damn hard
It?s not how it used to be
Shuffling to the shower, I stare in the mirror
To see my old man looking back at me
Seems all my best years were many years ago
Been rolling down the hill since then
Most of my luck vanished like my hair
And I wish I could get it back again
And I don?t see any future
In living in the past
Been getting out of date since nineteen eighty eight
And my life is slipping by fast.
But I don?t see any future
In changing things today
Sitting in a rut is a pain in the butt
But I can?t seem to find another way
A beautiful girl, in a perfect time
At least that?s how it all now seems
She said she?d never leave just before she went away
But she stayed with me in my dreams
Empty bottle of Jack and a six pack of beer
Sitting in my recycle bin
Old letters on my desk with a cold pizza slice
Another big night staying in
And It all seems such a shame
Inside I feel the same
