Save Yourself - James Mcmurtry[00:00:01]
You couldn't get what you were after[00:00:10]
After all was said and done[00:00:15]
Amid the echoes of the screams and the laughter[00:00:19]
Cracking the blinds to the noonday sun[00:00:23]
Running out of room tugging at the tether[00:00:28]
Old desires on the closet shelf[00:00:32]
You read between the lines until the lines ran together[00:00:36]
Somehow had to save yourself[00:00:41]
Somehow had to save yourself[00:00:46]
'Cause it don't come back once it's gone[00:00:49]
Now you wonder why you had to wait so long[00:00:54]
Wasn't no sense being where you don't belong[00:00:59]
Got to save yourself[00:01:05]
Now your bad boy runs you ragged[00:01:13]
But the nice guy bores you flat to tears[00:01:17]
He sends you flowers and birthday cards[00:01:22]
He tries so hard and he's out of here[00:01:25]
'Cause it's all you can handle just to stay okay[00:01:30]
You don't need nobody's pain[00:01:35]
You've got no room for baggage[00:01:40]
Passengers must now de-plane[00:01:44]
'Cause it don't come back once it's gone[00:01:47]
Now you wonder why you had to wait so long[00:01:52]
Wasn't no sense being where you don't belong[00:01:56]
Got to save yourself[00:02:03]
Got to save yourself[00:02:08]
Your new job keeps you busy[00:02:38]
The old car runs alright[00:02:42]
The hot wind off the concrete[00:02:47]
Sometimes keeps you up at night[00:02:51]
The lights go off in the building[00:02:55]
And you're sitting there alone[00:02:57]
'Cause the girls and boys you run with[00:03:00]
Have all up and gone home[00:03:02]
And you're sifting through the ashes[00:03:04]
Getting way down dark and deep[00:03:06]
You've got your life all figured out[00:03:09]
But you still don't get much sleep[00:03:11]
'Cause it don't come back once it's gone[00:03:12]
Now you wonder why you had to wait so long[00:03:17]
Wasn't no sense being where you don't belong[00:03:21]
Got to save yourself[00:03:28]
Got to save yourself[00:03:32]
'Cause it don't come back once it's gone[00:03:37]
Now you wonder why you had to wait so long[00:03:41]
Wasn't no sense being where you don't belong[00:03:46]
Save yourself[00:03:53]
Got to save yourself[00:03:57]
