I fell from my rope   My vision is cloudy   The outlook is lousy   I hope I find the strength to go on      I fall to my knees   To look for an answer   Find out what the chances are   That I'll make it on home      I think of how it all went wrong   Down that shitty part of town   It keeps me up all night long   And despite my little song   Life keeps going on   And despite my little song   Life keeps going on      I'll go to my grave   Knowing that you loved me   And the cards life had dealt me   Weren't so bad after all      Well, I have been wronged   And Lord, I've been deceived   But the love I gave to you   Was twice received      I think of how it all went wrong   Down that shitty part of town   It keeps me up all night long   But despite my little song   Life keeps going on   And despite my little song   Life keeps going on      Come on now      I think of how it all went down   In that shitty part of town   It keeps me up all night long   And despite my little song   Life keeps going on   Then despite my little song   Life keeps going on      And despite my little song   Life keeps going on
