Well there's nothing worse than feelingLike you're first in line for losingI thought my life was cruising then it crumbled all awayI had a lot to give but what I gave should be forgottenUnnoticed like a stranger I'll surrender for the dayWell this night was an illusion,It came down like an intrusionI stay up through the night thoughI can't stand it sinking lowI'm a witness to the fight betweenThe darkness and the lightYou're a mean old world I'm leaving thoughI have no place to goYou're a mean old world I'm leaving thoughI have no place to goThis old world took me for a rideI lost everything I had and then my prideSo much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to goAnd this old world she took me for a rideI was raised when I saw uglinessTo try to make some beautyFound purpose in the duty whenI couldn't find the shoreWhat beauty couldn't lift just simply floated on adriftRolling on directionless and lost forevermoreIt goes from bad to worse sometimesBefore it can get betterI string some words together andJust try to speak the truthI have a lot to get, I hope my lot will be forgivenPardon me for living for the time I'm here with youPardon me for living for the time I'm here with youThis old world took me for a rideI lost everything I had and then my prideSo much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to goAnd this old world she took me for a rideWhen I lay my body down I'd like toFeel the dirt beneath meAnd the howling wind could sheath me andI'd finally be set freeFor a moment you can yawn andThrow my things into a pileMy dawn is finally here andYours might come in just a whileMy dawn is finally here andYours might come in just a whileThis old world took me for a rideI lost everything I had and then my prideSo much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to goAnd this old world she took me for a rideThis old world she took me for a ride
