From the recording EXCERPTS FROM THE BLUE-COLLAR DIARIES (Double Disc)
Lyrics
Lord I asked you to give me a sign
To help me get my sorry ass in line
Well I guess you thought I needed, an atomic bomb
To go off, inside of my heart
I prayed help me with the drinking
The drugs and the lies
Please send my ambition, can you overnight
And morning after morning, it never came
Eventually I forgot, who it was to blame
He said “You are an I and your body is your's,
And you can try to be a Saint while being a whore
You been selling your soul, to fading light
Do you really think I don’t want you to get it right?”
He said “Fear is just a word, and the word is a thought"
And I pushed it all away man, and I got caught
With my heart open wide, and my mind clenched tight.
I refused to think that I even needed to try
Well I’m a little baby blue if you don’t know by now
And I can’t love myself cause I don’t know how
I been searching so long, and I ain't proud
I been praying to the sky, while kissing the ground
Well I learned my lesson now I’ll never sit still
It’s not like I ever was in love with it
I just hated myself, so I stayed the same
And at the end of my life their will be no body left to blame
