Had a strong reaction waking up
It took a lot of reacting to get up
To walk away with pride intact
Walk away from heart attack
On tight lines of certain wreck and rut

We take our licks and harden up inside
At least for a little while we don't feel like dying
Slow down my mind for it'll all subside
The storm is bound to pass in time

I'm never going back
I'm never going

Back to the alley where I woke
With doldrums I thought I'd never know
Shook it off with a shot of fact
Contemplated a shot to regret
On tight lines of certain wreck and rut

We take our licks and harden up inside
At least for a little while we don't feel like dying
Slow down my mind for it'll all subside
The storm is bound to pass in time

If you rest you rust
Trade sorrow in for trust
If you rest you rust
Follow the light out
If you rest you rust
Trade sorrow in for trust
If you rest you rust
Find your ground and follow the light out

I'm never going back
