Look inside the mirror but i don't know who i see
Smoke another cigarette, a smile holds back the tears
These contradictions seem to be the story of my life
A simple man with memories of those long lost golden days
I close my eyes and slowly driftaway
Mistakes i've made remind me of the roads i shouldn't choose
It never comes that easy when you've nuthin left to lose
I can't see the answers tell me why am i so blind
A tired man i'll make the best of another lonely day
I close my eyes and slowly driftaway
Never thought i'd make it just from playin my guitar
Just a little smile always shelters me from the pain
Everytime i start to slide i wish upon a star
The sun comes out and dries up all the rain
I'm a honest man who refused the shade on a hot and lonely day
Close my eyes and dream my life away
Now i know that i can stop the rain
Close my eyes and slowly driftaway
