[Verse 1]
I used to think I love you's were just for fools. I never had time for that and besides I was way too cool. I burned up my younger years in an alcohol flame. I'm breaking all the rules of love and life and just playing the games

[Chorus]
The life of a drifter ain't quite all it's cracked up to be. I find myself more and more on bended knees, begging for forgiveness for the pain I might have caused and fighting the devil with my back up against the wall

[Verse 2]
I must have broke a thousand hearts, or maybe two. I'd love and I'd leave em Lord and I'd find somebody new. Never realizing I was the victim all along. And I'd need a lifetime, Lord and lifetime trying to right all my wrongs

[Chorus (x2)]
