I work every day just to get nowhere
Hoping for a good life that never seems to come
Hoping and praying that around the next corner
Something's gonna change
Always seems like the next big thing
Is always just a step ahead of where I am
Sometimes at night I don't sleep
Wondering where and how I'm gonna eat
(CH)
My guitar takes me to a place, if only for a moment,
Where everything is fine
Like warm water poured through my soul
But as high as I can go in the morning,
I'm still in the same hole
Some things are too painful to say
So my guitar speaks for me
(CH)
Sometimes I'm so tired of struggling
I just wanna lay down and die
Sometimes my worry's so heavy
I can barely take a step
Sometimes I can't open my eyes
Because I'm afraid what's coming next
(CH)
Everything's gonna be all right
All my troubles fade away
