I don't know you and you don't know the half of it I had a starring role. I was the bad guy who walked out They say be careful where you aim 'Cause where you aim you might just hit You hold onto something so tight You've already lost it Dragging me down, that's not the way it used to be You can't even remember what I'm trying to forget It was a dirty day, dirty day Looking for explanations I don't even understand If you need someone to blame Throw a rock in the air, you'll hit someone guilty From father to son, one life has begun A work that's never done, father to son (Love, it won't last kissin' time) (Love, it won't last kissin' time) (Love, it won't last kissin' time) Get it right, there's no blood thicker than ink Hear what I say, nothing's simple as you think Wake up, some things you can't get around I'm in you, more so when they put me in the ground These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill
