lyrics

Now listen up people, I met a woman,
I laid it on real thick,
She was eating up what I put down,
And things got heavy quick,
Went out of me way to spoil her,
Was nothing I wouldn't do,
Even tried to put a fucking ring on her finger,
Thought she'd be me final root...

But then she said goodbye,
Took leave of my life,
I was spewing as I watched all my dreams swiftly dissipate,
But I think of freedom gained,
From doors slammed in my face,
And all the skirt now mine to chase...

Got in a bingle one morning,
After a night on the piss,
A truck came roaring through a give way sign,
Cleaned me up and fucking knocked me for six,
Johnny hoppers came to report it,
"Just give us one long breath... righto",
Stared down the barrel of a DUI,
As I blew 0.110...

So my fate was decided,
My plans were all turned to shit,
I lost my job and my license,
Fully hit the skids,
But when I thought about it real hard,
Black clouds were silver lined,
And all roads had led to this...

And in my darkness I could see,
Paths that went unwandered and choices poorly made,
But a trick of the light,
Made all too plain,
Bullets that lay in chambers still,
Etched with my name...

So I guess that's where the lesson of the story lies,
You're not in charge of which way the jism flies,
You can only play the ball that you have been bowled,
And make the most of the result...
