I’m an honest man
Tried and true
Five years now
I’ve been sober blue
Though I had been
Lying and though
I put you through hell
I’ve been born again
And I don’t want to be like anybody else
Somedays I’m feeling like
A child in his youth
I spend my afternoons
Doing foolish things
And wasting them
Close your eyes and spin
They don’t know the man
That I’ve grown into
This week I was on the phone
With someone I know
He’s been having doubts and asking questions
About how this world goes
Said I’m calling you
Because I know
That you could tell me the truth
Said I’m believing you
Because you’re walking proof
I said you’re gonna be all right
Yeah you’re gonna be all right
But ooh
Life can be cruel
They say it’s easy now
But boy don’t be a fool
Meanwhile I pressed on through
The other side of the dial
When I was called again
By someone I loved
I hadn’t thought of in a while
Said come on over
You can light a smoke
We’ll open an old bottle of wine
And we’ll drink it down
Until we’re making the same old jokes
Then we’ll see if we make it alive
But then she fell asleep
When she confessed what she’d done
I said I’m not faulting you
For all the harm you may have caused
And so I’ll make it right
Said I’ll make it right
Right as I can
Darling I’ll make it right
