Once upon a time I lived outside
I never helped nobody
Rising in the night, getting high
I only cared about me
People passed on the street but
Nobody ever saw me
I was tough
I was mean
I was sad and lonely
Oh if I didn’t have you
I’d still be losing it all
Hurting is all I’d do
Oh if I didn’t have you
I’d still be losing it all
Hurting myself
Hurtin for certain but hurt isn’t working at all
As it is I did love you
Break me down another million times
It don’t change nothing at all
Once I thought without nobody
There would be peace in my heart
Rain or shine return in time
I’m already gone
Oh if I didn’t have you
I’d still be losing it all
Hurting is all I’d do
Oh if I didn’t have you
I’d still be losing it all
Hurting myself
Hurtin for certain but hurt isn’t working at all
Talkin miles of trouble
Rain in my veins and I
I’m feeling double when you say my mom was too kind
Gave me unreasonable expectations
I would be in paradise if you would ever change your mind
I can be there on the double
I need a friend of mine
That’s why I’m talkin bout you…
And music can’t save the country
And music can’t impeach the president
And music can’t fix health care
And music can’t untuck the tax plan
That’s why I’m talkin bout you…
