I lost that state of mind
Learned to sing inside the Lord's house,
but stopped at the age of nine
I forget when I get awards now
The paving stones I played upon,
they kept me on the grind
So blame it on the pain that
Friends an d family filled with envy when
they should be filled with pride
And when the world's against me
is when I really come alive
And everyday that Satan tempts
me, I try to take it in my stride
You know that I've got whisky with white
lines and smoke in my lungs
I think life has got to the point
I know without it's no fun
I need to get in the right mind
Instead, I look in the mirror questioning
I guess it's a stereotypical day
Without a nine- to- five job
trappings of the industry
Show me the locked doors,
I find another use of key
I'm well aware of certain things
that will destroy a man like me
But with that said give me one more,
Another one to take the sting away
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
And I'll find comfort in my pain
I used to think that nothing could be better
than touring the world with my songs
I chased the pictured perfect life,
I think they painted it wrong
I think that money is the root
Re lationships and hearts you fixed,
And ain't nobody wanna see
Because you're living your dream,
man, this shit should be fun
Please know that I'm not trying
to preach like I'm Reverend Run
I beg you, don't be disappointed
Age twelve telling me I've gotta
Now I'm playing for the people,
With my beat and small guitar wearing
two- hundred- and- forty- thou
I may have grown up but I hope
And to the next generation,
The world may be filled with hate
I'm well aware of certain things
that will befall a man like me
But with that said give me one more,
Another one to take the sting away
I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay
Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day
And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser
And I'll find comfort in my pain,
And I'll find comfort in my pain,
I guess you know I've been away
But where I'm heading, who knows
But my heart will stay the same
I guess you know I've been away
And I'll find comfort in my pain,
And I'll find comfort in my pain,
And I'll find comfort in my pain,
And I'll find comfort in my pain,eraser
