From the recording Hell On The Potomac

Lyrics

I made a stranger angry
I did things I ought not have done
Tryin' to walk that thin line
Somewhere between right and wrong

I need to keep my mouth shut
No one really cares what the hell I say
The thoughts rollin' round in my mind
Never come out the right way

It's a cold night and I need shelter
Those church bells keep ringin' out my name
Preaching hellfire and brimstone
I can't keep living this way
I can't keep living my way

I got a chip on my shoulder
Strangers tryin' to dance all over my fresh grave
I can't seem to get along
With everyone casting in blame

I never really live and learn
Always goin' down in a bright ball of flames
My troubles seem to cast a wide net
I always end up raising a Cain

It's a cold night and I need shelter
Those church bells keep ringin' out my name
Preaching hellfire and brimstone
I can't keep living this way
I can't keep living my way
I can't keep living this way
I can't keep living my way

It's a cold night and I need shelter
Those church bells keep ringin' out my name
Preaching hellfire and brimstone
I can't keep living this way
I can't keep living my way
I can't keep living this way
I can't keep living my way
