Still Around

I was looking out the window riding on a train headed for a place called home
I was thinking ‘bout the past and thinking ‘bout the last time I came up on my own
But those memories were to string for me and now I’ll tell you why
Last time I was up there, I didn’t do nothin’ but cry.

[Chorus]
She always tried to knock me down
She always tried to mess me around
She always tried to put me d-d-d-down
But I’m still around
Yeah, I’m still around.

Oh no not this time lady, you ain’t rolling over me.
I put up all the fences, locked all the doors, now just you wait and see
So calm your eyes and leave your lies, let them drown in that kitchen sink
‘Cause I got home truths been cooking for a while, gonna really make you think
For two long years I let ‘em stew and now I’m ready to dish ‘em to you
So hide your eyes and hold your lies and drink your hidden drink

[Chorus]

Well I’m nearing my destination now and my batteries are running down
No sweet music to ease my pain, just the hard driving rhythm of a north bound train.
I drink another coffee and smoke that last cigarette
My heartbeat’s getting stronger, the nearer to the town I get
I’m coming out my corner and I’m ready to fight
There’s a red flame burning on this coach tonight and it’s mine, it’s mine, mine, mine

[Chorus]
