They said I'd never make it

But still here I am

A lot of folks tried to change me

But I'm still the same man

You might think it's easy

This life on this road

But you can't hardly please me

Unless I'm playin' these shows

There are days when I think

that I can't make it through, but I do

It's the lesser of two different evils that I have to choose

And I know I'll get where I'm goin'

but that simple notion don't offer me no sympathy

'Cause this rocket I'm on is just a time bomb tickin' for me

I've walked through fire

And I've been through hell

I've been a bird on a wire

And I've been locked up in jail

Now I've got three children

And I've got one loving wife

That still choose to love me

In spite of my life

There are days when I think

that I can't make it through, but I do

It's the lesser of two different evils that I have to choose

And I know I'll get where I'm goin'

but that simple notion don't offer me no sympathy

'Cause this rocket I'm on's just a time bomb tickin' for me

Well, there are days when I think

that I can't make it through, but I do

It's the lesser of two different evils that I have to choose

Yeah, and I know I'll get where I'm goin'

but that simple notion, it don't offer me no sympathy

'Cause this rocket I'm on is just a time bomb tickin' for me

Oh, this rocket I'm on's just a time bomb tickin' for me
