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
