v.1
I been sittin' here tryin to find myself
I get behind myself, I need to rewind myself
Lookin' for the payback, listen for the playback
They say that every man bleeds just like me

I feel like number one, yet I'm last in line
I watched my youngest son, an' it helps to pass the time
I take too many pills, it helps to ease the pain
Made a couple dollar bills, still I feel the same

Everybody knows my name, say it way out loud
A lot of folks come with me, it's hard to hang out in a crowd
I guess that's the price you pay, to be some big shot like I am
Anxious fans and one night stands, an' still I can't find love

Refrain:
An when your wall comes tumblin' down
I will always be around [to get you home]

v.2
People don't know bout the things I say and do
They don't know a thing 'bout the shit that I been through
Been so long since I been home
I been gone, I been gone for way too long

Maybe I forgot all the things I've missed
Oh, somehow I know there's more to life than this
I said it too many times, and I still stand firm
You get what you put in, and people get what they deserve

An' I ain't seen mine, no I ain't seen mine
I been givin' I just ain't been gettin'
I been walkin' that there line
Well I think I'll keep on walkin' with my head held high
Keep movin' on, and only God knows why
Only God, only God, only God knows why [rpt to end]
