chorus:
i got so many problems
and they weigh on my mind
i don't solve em, no, i just cause them
and they weigh on my mind

tell me where do you go when your money's all gone?
when your friends are all gone? when your love is all gone?
no right turns, always seems to be wrong
all goes bad, it's so hard to be strong
it's an uphill battle i don't think i can win
i try to do right but i'm surrounded by sin
say, he's a better man, don't compare me to him
i've climbed the highest tree, now i'm stuck on a lim

chorus

i look for guiding light, but the bulbs they all burned out
got up to the door and the lights they all turned out
said they couldn't teach me, so i guess i'm all learned out
saw my soul die, didn't fly, it just squirmed out
in the blink of an eye i turned my home to a house
i know what to say, but no words will come out
my time's almost up, i don't have any doubts
i said my time's almost up and i don't have any doubts

i'm gonna hold on as long as i can here
and my american dream, i have some doubts there
i'm gonna hold on as long as i can here
and my american dream, i have some doubts there
