I’m stuck on the outside and I'm tired of looking in
I’ve been taking the blows right on the chin
Trying to figure out where I’m gonna begin

I'm knocking off the dust stuck on my skin
I lost a little weight so I am feeling kind of thin
I'm in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in

I had a wild women she was driving me insane
She came into my life just like a hurricane
Since she went back home I only see her now and then

And if it doesn’t work out for me, I’ll start all over again
And if it doesn’t work out for me, I’ll start all over again

You've been gone a little while so tell me where you been
You say you're gonna call me but I never know when
Word on the street is you gotta new friend

I’ll take you on a road trip, that’s what I intend
I’ll run you up the coast, up around the bend
I’ll take you to the country on the road that never ends

I’m driving all night through the pouring down rain
I’m heading to the station so I can meet you at the train
She’s coming back to see me so I really can’t complain

And if it doesn’t work out for me, I’ll start all over again
And if it doesn’t work out for me, I’ll start all over again
______________________________________________

I was when it started and I will be here in the end
You can push me, you can pull me I'm not gonna bend
I never follow fashion I start my own trend

I’m trying to make a living I’m still in the game
I’m working overtime seeking fortune and fame
If I never make it I’ll keep singing just the same

The woman I’m loving wants to keep me on a chain
I’m doing my best to try and maintain
Is it true love or is it love in vain?

And if it doesn’t work out for me, I’ll start all over again
And if it doesn’t work out for me, I’ll start all over again
