I've been gone a long time
Here in the walls where sun don't shine
Time waits for no one

Paid the cost
Paid the fine
They say I'm free now
And my life is mine

But all that's good is gone

oh
oh

Mom was drunk
Pop was blind
Did not factor too much of him to the time
But what should be was not

I was lost
Turned to crime
Now the madness
Some guy in and out of line
But what they had was mine

oh
oh
oh
oh
