It’s hard to find work in the town that I live,
And I’ve heard so much talk that it’s better to give,
I’ve given my soul to what I want to do,
‘Cause I don’t wanna be hitting these hard times too.
I’ve worn pin striped suits and blue ripped jeans,
I’ve seen death and new life when barely in my teens,
I felt the end drawing near in my sixteenth year,
And I’ve felt the cold grip of fear,
I learnt about the world in an abandoned quarry,
I learnt that we’re just one line in a long story,
But one line can be read in so many different ways,
I’ll keep changing the meaning for the rest of my days.
I heard a song that changed my life,
My brother read a book that changed his mind,
My sister learnt a lesson that she’ll never forget,
That changing your ways is nothing to regret.
I'm 25 years old and I’m playing this guitar,
I’m singing this song yeah at least I got these far,
I’ve found love and I’ll settle down,
As soon as I find work in this town.
