The Good Life - Early Out the Gate Lyrics
What you're looking for is never what you findNothing ever seems to turn out rightStill you run around, still searchingOn these long indifferent streetsFor a lover or some cover to protect youFrom the heat that you feel insideInflamed since you learned to cryEver since you learned to walk, you ran awayYou kept running until you couldn't feel your legsNow you slum around this drunked townPawn shops and titty barsTelling tales of just how far you gotBut they all know who you areYeah, you're not so greatYou were just early out of the gateThere's a portrait of your mom when she was youngHer face was shining brightly as the sunThe son who got away from herBut came back home again to find a woman wreckedWith all this love she couldn't give but you know she didYou just couldn't feel it thenI found this birthday card from this lady I used to knowIt said, "Boy, you're really starting to get old"She was the mother of my motherAnd I knew just what she meantShe'd been through it before, she knewWith all of this resentment, there comes regretI just hadn't gotten there yetNothing ever seems to turn out rightNo, nothing ever seems to turn out rightSo I'll leave it at thisMy deepest regrets
