No, I couldn't sleep last night, a song rolled round my head
Another few hours later, and I had to roll from bed
This old bear in the mirror ain't the man I wanna see
He's beaten more everyday, and it scares the hell from me
Ain't all jars of shine and rainbows when you're falling for this scheme
No, a poor man's poet ain't the blessed life that it seems

I'm sick of goin' nowhere like two frogs churnin' cream
It's so hard spinnin' tires when you come apart at the seam
The only six figures that I know is the mileage on my truck
In spite of all the work put in my tires still spin stuck
No, I ain't that outlaw that y'all label me to be
'Cause I work and pay my rent, you know no man's truly free

I tried to live the blessed life, I couldn't fight alone
I know it takes a better man to say when he's wrong
If you want to be the one to stand here in the light
Go and live the blessed life, try to hold on through the night

I tried to live the blessed life, I couldn't fight alone
I know it takes a better man to say when he's wrong
If you want to be the one to stand here in the light
Go and live the blessed life, try to hold on through the night

Another few hours later, and I'll have to roll from bed
'Cause you know I can't sleep tonight, this song's rollin' round in my head
