From the recording When Life Comes Knockin'
Lyrics
You’re feeling pain, I can tell
Got T-boned on your motorcycle
All is not well
Twenty feet high and you can’t even fly
That hard ass black top hurts like hell
You can’t catch a ride cause your hairs too long
Thumb in the air for a hitch
A car slows down and you think that you’re in
But it opens up the door and knocks you right into the ditch
So who’ll get you by when the walls come tumbling down?
And the bullshit gets washed away
Even though you hail from the wrong side of town
When life comes knocking I’ll be here to stay
Your band is cool but I can see
There’s not much use for guitar playing in a factory
Bury those dreams, no need for them it seems
The life of your nightmares is your destiny
You can’t get a job cause your hair’s still too long
Your mamma says get it cut or go
You end your day in a very different town
Carrying your guitar through the cold and the snow
So who’ll get you by when the walls come tumbling down?
And the bullshit gets washed away
Just because you hail from the wrong side of town
When life comes knocking I’ll be here to stay
Guitar Solo
You’re feeling pain you can’t hide
Nothing’s going your way and you just can’t turn the tide
Where your face like a king though you can’t hide a thing
And still in me you won’t confide
So who’ll get you by when the walls come tumbling down?
And the bullshit gets washed away
Just because you hail from the wrong side of town
When life comes knocking I’ll be here to stay
So who’ll get you by when the walls come tumbling down?
And the bullshit gets washed away
When life comes knocking I will be around
You know I’m here to stay
