I can't count the times I've been around the block I hit a rock Just my luck I tried my hand at something new If nothing else to get us through when payments due I've got a boy and a girl and they're my whole world And I'd hate to let them down Gets rough hen reality calls my bluff And I think I'm gonna drown When I'm ready to give ut up Call it quits and just say stop You help me through the dark you pick me up When I'm drifting without aim think I'm finished in this game When it's cold and I get lost out in the rain You tend the flame You tend the flame We where fresh right outta school and I was all out playing cool Such a fool Didn't really have a plan but we just up one night and ran In my chevy van What a man Got a job working nights stopping drunken fights Didn't really think this through As the years went by never touched the sky But I could always count on you When I'm ready to give ut up Call it quits and just say stop You help me through the dark you pick me up When I'm drifting without aim think I'm finished in this game When it's cold and I get lost out in the rain You tend the flame When I'm ready to give ut up Call it quits and just say stop You help me through the dark you pick me up When I'm drifting without aim think I'm finished in this game When it's cold and I get lost out in the rain When I'm ready to give ut up Call it quits and just say stop You help me through the dark you pick me up When I'm drifting without aim think I'm finished in this game When it's cold and I get lost out in the rain You tend the flame You tend the flame
