I woke up this morning
Lying under my bed
With hell's bells in my ears
A runaway truck in my head
I tried to get off the floor
But my feet wouldn't carry me
I tried to open my eyes
But the light was too bright to see
Last night
I left my lovin' woman
Told her to hit the road
To find herself another man
I don't know why it took so long
Don't know what went wrong
I only know that she is gone
A I feel good all alone
refrain:
Standing on my own two feet
Taking my trouble to the street
All of those years
All of those nights
They keep falling through your fingers
Like a handful of sand
Now that you're gone baby
I can finally speak my mind
I never told you too much
Kept everything inside
All my life
I wished I had a home
But I held my secret baby
Like a dog holds a bone
refrain
All of those years
All of those nights
They keep falling through your fingers
(2x)
Like a handful of sand
