The Backyard Of My Life
I Can't Get Her Off My Mind (Before The Last Teardrop Falls)
I threw myself into work trying to keep busy
I excepted every evening invitation
I read endless books by Bukowski till i was nearly blind
No matter what i do i cant get her off my mind
Like an eternal circle thoughts return to haunt on repeat
At dawns first light i still hadn't drunk myself to sleep
Trying to hold on to memories that left me far behind
Stuck inside the same old slough i cant get her off my mind
I hit the road travelling down that long lost highway
Searching for some salvation
I was thrown out of a casino cause my credit card was declined
Before the last teardrop falls i cant get her off my mind
Like the tide turning back and forth too and fro
Why cant i forget her why cant i let go?
There's solitude waiting somewhere for me to find
I still cant get no peace i cant get her off my mind
I would write down my feelings and emotions
To get them of my chest a guru told me to try meditation
I feel like am trapped in a cage in this daily grind
How ever hard i try i cant get her off my mind
I would start meaningless conversations with strangers
Dance with every pretty girl who came along
Restless nights and empty dreams were so intertwined
I can only run so far i cant get her off my mind
Maybe i should get a lobotomy
