Oh, when I saw her looking back at me She fought me with a stare That locked me up and had me beat And all that time I didn't know what to say I couldn't find the words She took each every one away
I said 1 2 3 4 Get myself back off the floor 5 6 7 8 Count my luck 'cause it's never too late
All you said you needed was some time I spent all these years and now I've had enough All I've got is time I gotta get this stone off of my neck 'Cause it's taken its toll I've paid my debt I've gotta roll
Oh When I got out of that ball & chain I looked back at the gate Thought I could rehabilitate And all that time I thought I'd fall apart They locked me in a cell But they couldn't lock away my heart
I said 1 2 3 4 Get myself back off the floor 5 6 7 8 Count my luck 'cause it's never too late
All you said you needed was some time I spent all these years and now I've had enough All I've got is time I gotta get this stone off of my neck 'Cause it's taken its toll I've paid my debt I've gotta roll
All you said you needed was some time I spent all these years and now I've had enough All I've got is time I gotta get this stone off of my neck 'Cause it's taken its toll I've paid my debt I've gotta roll
