I hear that sad song playing on the radio   I think it was summer of '69   It makes me think back on my life   My boyhood hopes and dreams   Of just living on my six string      Sometimes there's an angel on my back   Pushing me forward so I don't fall   Apart my youthful days are over now   And these memories are tearing me      Please ease this pain   The alcohol stopped working   It's gotta be better than this   They've been gone for days   The stitches that hold me together   I can't wait forever      Sometimes there's an angel on my back   Pushing me forward so I don't fall   Apart my youthful days are over now   And these memories are tearing me      The lights are getting dim   The bar is getting empty   Don't want to wait forever   The lights are getting dim   The bar is getting empty   Don't want to wait forever      Sometimes there's an angel on my back   Pushing me forward so I don't fall   Apart my youthful days are over now   And these memories are tearing me      Tried of trying   (Take me)   Tired of trying   (Take me)   So tried of trying   Take me home
