You know that bad luck will eat you up
Whenâs it gonna end?
I twisted everything I could
Out of words
In real life my colours never blend
When I was a boy I said to myself
That Iâd never lean on anyone else
Oh, but I was wrong
Yeah I was wrong
And my mother took me by the hands and then
Oh, oh how I prayed
That the good Lord would come and take me away
From this mess of a life that Iâm in
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
In this wreck of a life that Iâm in
In this mess of a life that Iâm in
Come on you got a lot to give
A lot to live for
And hope it all gets better
You twisted everything you can out of anything
I know itâs gonna get better
And Iâm so sick and tired of lying around
Weâre all waiting for someone to light up this town
Oh, it wonât be long
It wonât be long
And I know I should have left town but I stayed
Oh how I prayed
That the good Lord would come and take me away
From this mess of a life that Iâm in
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
In this wreck of a life that Iâm in
In this mess of a life that Iâm in
Oh and it feels like Iâm writing a book and I canât get inspired
Sometimes
It seems that Iâm breathing in smoke and my lungs are so tired
Oh well
Iâll just sleep it all off and then hope that it donât get me fired
And Iâm asking you please
Oh oh how I prayed
That the good Lord would come and take me away
From this mess of a life that Iâm in
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
In this wreck of a life that Iâm in
And oh how I prayed
That the good Lord would come and take me away
From this mess of a life that Iâm in
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried
