Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I thought you'd be back on the track, but I guess I was wrong, man
For the look in your eyes was the same empty high that you'd shown
As I ran down the road, I'd forgotten this load was upon you
So the band packed its bags and played on, goodbye
[Verse 2]
It's been years since I cried, but this feeling inside really hurt me, man
And you know that we're loyal through the years of hard toil, we stood by
But our lick's gotten better, I thought you could weather the good times
So, I guess that it's hard to leave bad times and downers behind
[Verse 3]
So it came down to sayin' you haven't been playin' for so long
That our heads caked with rust and the dust of a million sad sighs
In the mornings, I've tried to reach down inside and push that nightmare away
Now I'm glad that it's over, it's over
Now I can play
