A.J. Croce - Back Where I Began Lyrics
Two steps back, one step aheadWhat’s bad for the living is worse for the deadOh child, Oh childI’m closer to the promised land, but i am back where I beganSpent all my money with nothing to showWith all that I’ve learned there’s so little I knowOh child, Oh childI’m closer to that promised land, but I’m back where I began(Chorus)You said you need somebodyBut that ain’t nothing newYou said you need somebodyThat needs somebody tooI look in the mirror, it’s a cryin’ shameI look so much older, but I feel just the sameOh child, Oh childI’m closer to the promised land but back where I beganLying on the bathroom floor, praying to the LordI swear I’ll never drink another drink, if this is my rewardOh child, Oh childI’m closer to that promised land, but I’m back where I beganYou said you need somebodyBut that ain’t nothing newYou said you need somebodyThat needs somebody tooLying on the bathroom floor, praying to the LordI swear I’ll never drink another drink, if this is my rewardOh child, Oh childI’m closer to that promised land, but I’m back where I began
