Hold me down when you need Don't let the grass grow under my feet Been here before you'll be here again Sick of walking in and crawling out It ain't the bottle that put me down Found that I ain't exempt of changin' Life on a shelf Did that charade Watered down memories that time erased Time in a cell did that too And it's drinks and drugs and hard lovin' induced Same old scene put a hurtin' on me They lock the door when you leave It's fine my time was numbered These days I mow the lawn and pay the bills Got a woman and a dream that I can't fulfill Where a man with a pulse could work from the neck down Life on a shelf Did that charade Watered down memories that time erased Time in a cell did that too And it's drinks and drugs and hard lovin' induced Life on a shelf Did that charade Watered down memories that time erased Time in a cell did that too And it's drinks and drugs and hard lovin' induced
