Well I've been waiting in the back just wondering how   To make this begin   But under weight of drugs and alcohol   That have rendered me defenseless   You'll call me worthless   I know I'm worth this   And I've been waiting all along   Someday I'll ride this out of here   Where baby, I'll show you how I won't miss home at all      There's a man in the bar who looks up to you   Even though he is like half your age   He's never gonna know what you're going through   Or what it must be like to have to shoulder all the weight   On a daily basis      We put up, we put out, we put in the time   The clock is running out, you gotta do it now      I have much in mind for what's in store   But first I gotta complete this phrase   It's like that man once said   "You gotta hit the ground running or you'll fall,   Before things ever go your way"      So now I'm standing in the back just learning how   To keep this going   But under weight of drugs and alcohol   That have rendered me defenseless   Don't call me worthless   I've gotta have purpose   And I've been waiting all along   Someday I'll ride this out of here   Where baby, I'll show you how I won't miss home at all      The woman in the dark that you're plowing through   Is just another flawless perk of the trade   So many men that I have known are abusing you   Because this is the way you paint yourself on canvas, babe   What an awful price to pay      This is not what I've been looking for   Still it's how I'm gonna spend my days   Since I can't count my sins   I'll cover them up like I know they don't exist   Still I will not be ashamed      Wait...   Besides this awful purpose   That I tend to show some days   I only have the best intentions   So I will not be afraid...   Afraid of what they'll say      There's no more waiting in the back cause I've figured out   A way to begin   And under weight of drugs and alcohol   Is exactly where we wanna be   You can call me worthless   I know my purpose   And I've been ready all along   To ride my calling outta here   Where baby, I'll show you how I won't   How I won't miss   How I won't miss home at all
