What a Shame 歌词

Oh, if my life rode on a ship I'd chase down some hurricanes We'd have stories once those howling winds had passed And if I wanted my whole life to be laid out in black and white I'd have turned my weathered sails some time ago But I stayed steady on that stream With river rocks and gasoline Bumping curbs on every turn we would make The friends we made and lovers past Bail bond loans and Sunday Mass They have opened up a newer life to me Well what a shame, a crying shame, nine to five it's all the same But you won't take those wasted hours to your grave And oh, good God don't rest my soul and let myself fall to a fold I'm still running and a racing, wishing on a fallen star And how much money meets your desire And how much heat can you take 'fore you feel the fire I don't think it's worth the pain but who am I to say? Because I feel like every other day I sing another sad song about living free I lose another little piece of the puzzle that got me here Another road house fight cast down By sin another blow out ten miles from town again Another sold out night that makes It worth the fight and the life I want to live If I'd love the lord by, sing loud till They turn out your very last light When you're gone, what do you have But the song you sang And there ain't no one to kill me back I can't change my ways once I felt like that If I'd have won in a life full of memories Well what a shame, a crying shame, nine to five it's all the same But you won't take those wasted hours to your grave And as I watch my hour glass, grains of sand are like days of past Brace the storm, this is your love, your life, your task And as I watch my hour glass Grains of sand are like days of past Brace the storm, this is your love, your life, your task
