Where is that ol’ lighthouse
I fell in love with your brightness
And I used to see you
A beacon so bright and full of all my dreams
And now the day is night and nights are foggy
I haven’t found a damn thing in weeks
Haven’t worked this hard in all my life
They say when you work hard futures are bright
But they lied
They hadn't tried
Here I am doing what’s right
but I don’t see it
I don’t see shit
I just feel it and
brother it’s heavy
They think I owe ‘em everything that I own
I guess I’ll start selling my fingers and thumbs
But I can’t
They’re too damn stained
And not maintained,
and it’s a damn shame cause
They'll tell you a story but not one of glory
I’m not sorry about a damn thing
It was a good swing ‘cause they believed in me
I’m here
I let people take advantage of me
That’s hard to say to say the least
But let’s be honest I need to be stronger
Before I can’t any longer
And I think it’s time to say no for once
And I think it’s time do something for myself but
They think I owe ‘em everything that I own
I guess I’ll start selling my fingers and thumbs
But I can’t
They’re too damn stained
And not maintained,
and it’s a damn shame cause
They'll tell you a story but not one of glory
I’m not sorry about a damn thing
It was a good swing ‘cause they believed in me
I’m here
Oh, baby, I’m here
They think I owe ‘em everything that I own
I guess I’ll start selling my fingers and thumbs
But I can’t They’re too damn stained
And not maintained,
and it’s a damn shame cause
They'll tell you a story but not one of glory
I’m not sorry about a damn thing
It was a good swing ‘cause they believed in me
I’m here
Oh, baby, I’m here I’m here, I’m here Oh, darlin’, I’m right here
