Bad News

Decided to leave and fell down the stairs
I looked around to see the world doesn’t care
It seems no one hears the words that I swear
That started to make me painful aware
I got behind the wheel of my car
The only destination was far
I should have never hit my breaks at that bar
Don’t hang your hopes on one shiny bright star

Bad news got a hold of me
Seems it will last my eternity
Why can’t bad news just let me be
Move along life, there ain’t nothin’ to see

I pulled myself clean outta that glass
Walked outside and fell straight on my ass
Got sober finally, I hope it will last
Jumped in the car, slammed my foot on the gas
Déjà vu done got me again
Thoughts of you blow in on a bad wind
Makes my will want to give in and bend
I can’t block out the bad vibes that you send

Bad news got a hold of me
Seems it will last my eternity
Why can’t bad news just let me be
Move along life, there ain’t nothin’ to see

Where will I ever finally find me some peace
Want to rid myself of that jealousy beast
My aching heart finally needs release
Before I’m dust and I’m dead and deceased
I need to find me my very own home
A place where I belong and finally can roam
I only needed myself, I’ll make it alone
Stop needing’ someone to throw me a bone

Bad news got a hold of me
Seems it will last my eternity
Why can’t bad news just let me be
Move along life, there ain’t nothin’ to see

Took off the beer goggles, opened my eyes
And what I saw was a total surprise
The day has dawned on my shiny new life
Some day I’ll make someone a damn good wife
Mine for the taking, just reach out a hand
To grab a hold of a new life that’s grand
I’ll hold my head up and I’ll make strong stand
I’m finally doing things I’d only planned

Bad news got a hold of me
Seems it will last my eternity
Why can’t bad news just let me be
Move along life, there ain’t nothin’ to see
