Tell Me

I used to be free but then I fell off the track

I got another one comin' and a knife in the back

It's a mighty selfish move to end your own life

Even when you got problems even when you got strife

Take a long look you're no better than I

Tell me that, tell me and look me in the eye

You never get far when you're livin' on the run

You got one eye open and you sleep with a gun

It's a mighty selfish move to take all the glory

Because in the end it's another man's story

Take a long look you're no better than I

Tell me that now, tell me and look me in the eye

It's been nine long months before the child was born

You get no sleep and the marriage is torn

So count your blessings and be on your way

You got no place to go so you might as well stay

Take a last look you're no better than I

Tell me that boy, tell me and look me in the eye

So what have we learned we're just sittin' down here

We got people on the pedal but no one to steer

Everybody's movin' in different directions

Tell me what do you know 'bout the class A section

So take your long look cuz you're no better than I

Tell me that man, tell me and look me in the eye
