Been Around

I don't run from guilt you see

My conscience lets me know at least

A thousand times or better every day

Things I've done, mistakes I've made

Raised feelings I'll lay in some grave

If ever I am finally laid to rest

If there's time to pray before I die

I pray dear Lord you know that I

Was a righteous man that somehow lost his way

Face me down when I shall pass

Just so the world kiss my ass

And Hell can't come and get me from behind

I've danced in the flames, I've been burned

I've walked on the harder side of life, I've taken all the wrong turns

I've been around, I've been down, and I've been wasted

I fight with myself, sometimes I lose

I got me an angel on my shoulder but I've got the devil too

I get down, I get around and I get wasted

27 years along

I've tried to make right all wrong

And I've nearly died a few times on my way

Well, I've seen the face of God first hand

And I've danced with the devil man

I've needed help, grabbed with both their hands

I've danced in the flames, I've been burned

I've walked on the harder side of life, I've taken all the wrong turns

I've been around, I've been down, and I've been wasted

I fight with myself, sometimes I lose

I got me an angel on my shoulder but I've got the devil too

I get down, I get around and I get wasted

I fight with myself, sometimes I lose

I got me an angel on my shoulder but I've got the devil too

I get down, I get around and I get wasted

I don't run from guilt you see

My conscience lets me know at least

A thousand times or better every day
