You were 18, I just turned 29

I was fresh out the coffin girl and you were so fine

The future was bright, and the world it seemed new

I was with some other woman, but I was thinkin of you

Now I know how it hurts, and I know how it feels

I know how it aches, cause the heart never heals

Cause we're so busy screamin

that we don't hear the words that we say

We've taken our lumps, we took a few blows

and hit a few bumps had our fair share of woes

Tried to see good, through all of the bad

Put on our smiles pretend we're not sad

We gotta be tough, but we gotta be strong

Gotta be right, can't afford to be wrong

It's hard to shake the blues

when you're readin bad news every day

We worry too much for one couple to bear

And hunger so much for one person to care

Foolin our family, we're foolin our friends

And pray that the pain and the frustration ends

Hope is a chance, and hope is a dream

Hope is a drug maybe hope's a vaccine

In a race against time

I get down on my knees and I pray

You shout at the devil, I curse the Lord

Offer them everything I can afford

Done sold out my soul, I've lied and deceived

Tried to be righteous, I've tried to believe

Prayed every prayer, kicked all of my highs

For hours I'd stare at those beautiful eyes

But all of my problems seem to be melting away

The smile on her face, says daddy everything is okay

In a race against time

I get down on my knees and I pray
