Life On the Outside

When it hurts so bad I think my heart will explode
Mad at the clock cause it moves so slow
They say to stand up tall, but I’m all out of pride
It’s another day, life on the outside

The forgotten man with the wasted voice
I go to work each day, cause I ain't got no choice
I have so much to give, I feel weak and crucified
It’s my cross to bear, life on the outside

Now I live where the fragile dreamers go
And I’m screamin as the ragin river flows
‘Til the barefoot angel comes with glory on her tongue

I walk this town in another man’s skin
Battered, bruised, and torn, sufferin
And the people on the street won’t look me in the eye
There’s a bitter wind, life on the outside

Chorus

Stranded, branded, a warm heart turned to stone, gettin wasted all alone
So tell me some day it won’t be this way, ramblers tramps and
Thieves walking wounded dressed like me

Chorus

On the broken nights, I walk the railroad track
And maybe some day I just won’t turn back
