Sick of this life

Not that you'd care

I'm not the only one with

Whom these feelings I share

Nobody understands

Quite why we're here

Searchin' for answers

That never appear

But maybe if I looked real hard I'd

I'd see your tryin' too

To understand this life

That we're all goin' through

{Then when she said she was gonna like

Wreck my car, I didn't know what to do}

Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse

And I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down

I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more

It may sound funny but you'd think by now, I'd be smilin'

I guess some things never change, never change

I met an old cowboy

I saw the look in his eyes

Somethin' tells me, he's been here before

'Cause experience makes you wise

I was only a small child

When the thought first came to me

That I'm the son of a gun and the gun of a son

That brought back the devil in me

But sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse

I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down

It's like to think that our love's worth a tad more

It may sound funny but you'd think by now, I'd be smilin'

I guess some things never change, never change

I ain't quite what you'd call an old soul

Still wet behind the ears

I been around this track a couple of times

But now the dust is startin' to clear

Oh, yeah!

Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse

I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down

I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more

It may sound funny but you'd think by now, I'd be smilin'

Ooh, yeah, I'd be smilin', no way I'd be smilin', ooh smilin'

Sick of this life

Not that you'd care

I'm not the only one

With whom these feelings I share
