Nicotine's got a hold of me And if I'd got it right I'd not be here tonight Gunshots and trains down by the block Cut out all the noise Riffin with long and forgotten boys Why don't they ever wait for you Don't they know your face at all Fighting all of your fights southpaw Ain't looking bright Hit the ground running I'm taking Cortland all the way Looked out this morning Stopped and asked for spring today If it all came easy What kind of story would you know But I'm still on Cortland With the lights as bright as they go I always thought that this was it But those days are over now No one's ever taught me how To finish the fight when it's the good fight One more drag then I'll come up Cut me off, I think I've had enough
