Standing by the highway Just waiting in the rain You got me standing here waiting October sun is shining These tears they cause the pain It simply make up Only just to break up, oh baby And that ain't no fun to me I said it ain't no fun to me

There were times I was lost and no one looked for me Staring at my rearview wondering how I made it out Took the road less traveled, giving thanks to the gravel that got me here I couldn't shed no tears through the pain and the suffering Why bother now

In these vigilant times I daydream-an innocuous crime My motionless stance-in my mind, I wander the land A bleak, dismal trance Constrained, unsafe, left in shame And now I can see my town is painted red Here forever I'll be where once my tears were

I don't got a single sober vein in my body It makes me smile, it makes me smile 'Cause I got it All the pain, sweat and tears, just to get a piece But now we got it Man look at the kid now, can't nobody stop me Don't apologize, I quite enjoy messy I see

I would have to give up But I´m thankful that I´m Strong as I am and I´ll Try to do the best I can Tears will run swift And tears will come that fall like rain I pray that it´s swift though Tears will fall as cold as pain I see them gathered, see them on

And every single year I'm drowning in my tears, I'm drowning in my tears again I can't seem to forget the pain I seem to give The pain I seem to give, my friend Woah, oh, woah, oh Woah, oh, woah, oh, woah, oh

It comes in spades From a life of pain I don't care 'cause I don't give a fuck It tears a path right through me Both hands broken together Clenching fists cause the rage You stabbed me in the back over a sliver A feeling I have been betrayed A systematic

It's all about The blood, the sweat, the tears Attribute to the strength Built through the years Time will sear the wound Yes I walk the righteous Many men have walked before And this pain's held A broken shell

It's only a painting But not to pretty a picture A thousand words I know them all The frozen bird, a hockey puck Shed tears, move on to Van Gogh Move on to Van Gogh There's something there in Williamson's Garage I think it's me trying to start a fire

I would have to give up But I´m thankful that I´m Strong as I am and I´ll Try to do the best I can Tears will run swift And tears will come that fall like rain I pray that it´s swift though Tears will fall as cold as pain I see them gathered, see them on
