[Verse 1]
Smooth-talkin', slow-walkin' tell no lie
Cool is the fool with the eagle eye
Spending my time drunk and living fast
Nobody knows what lies in my past

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm lookin' back, my life is cryin' out
What did I do, what was I all about?

[Chorus]
Oh, take me, save me from my misery
Oh, take me, I want to be free
Oh, take me, take my hand and help me on
Oh, take me, I will soon be gone

[Verse 2]
Good-timin', all-nightin' in the shade
No thinkin' nobody's had it made
Stole no control on my evil hands
I tossed a coin blind to where it lands

[Pre-Chorus]
My how the time flies, it just passes by
I turned around, it looked me in the eye
[Chorus]
Oh, take me, save me from my misery
Oh, take me, I want to be free
Oh, take me, take my hand and help me on
Oh, take me, I will soon be gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
My how the time flies, it just passes by
I turned around, it looked me in the eye

[Chorus]
Oh, take me, save me from my misery
Oh, take me, I want to be free
Oh, take me, take my hand and help me on
Oh, take me, I will soon be gone
