Lyrics

[00:26.82] Well I wish I had a nickel
[00:28.26] For every time I fell and blamed somebody else
[00:34.75] I'd give a ton of money to the ones I've hurt
[00:40.39] And I'd still be sittin' pretty well
[00:43.49] I've spent years losin' touch of what's right and what's real
[00:49.52] Caught up in these missions of my own
[00:52.62] And you're tellin' me you think I've done so damn well
[00:57.80] While we're sittin' here a thousand miles from home
[01:03.00] There's a hole in your wisdom, a hole in your sky
[01:06.99] Two holes in your head where the light's supposed to get by
[01:12.77] Time to lock and load
[01:15.43] Time to get control
[01:21.52] Time to search the soul
[01:24.37] And start again
[01:28.32] So many times I've seen chances disappear
[01:38.31] I hesitate and watch them slip away
[01:41.80] Like the time I fail to spend with the ones I love
[01:47.03] And it's gone as sure as yesterday
[01:51.62] All these users and fakers, big time takers
[01:56.32] Manipulating everyone they see
[02:00.26] I get caught up in their schemes and their useless dreams
[02:05.17] And the only one I have to blame is me
[02:09.32] I get turned `round and twisted, pulled left and right
[02:14.33] I can see where I'm goin', but I can't see the light
[02:19.58] Time to lock and load
[02:24.35] Come in from the cold
[02:28.86] Take a different road
[02:31.27] And start again
[02:36.70] I can sit here, in the back half of my life
[02:47.32] And wonder when the other shoe will fall
[02:54.31] Or I can stand up, point myself home
[02:55.72] And see if I've learned anything at all
[03:01.40] Anything at all
[03:07.54] Mediocrity is easy, the good things take time
[03:33.36] The great need commitment, right down the line
[03:38.11] Time to lock and load
[03:41.19] Come in from the cold
[03:45.70] Pay these debts I owe
[03:50.19] And start again
[03:53.50] I've been down this road
[04:00.42] I've seen things get old
[04:04.72] Time to get control
[04:08.24] And start it all again
[04:12.00] Time to lock and load
[04:19.03] Time to get control
[04:23.22] Time to search the soul
[04:25.99] And start again
[04:30.02] I've been down this road
[04:35.55] I've seen things get old
[04:40.61] Stand up, get bold
[04:44.21] And start it all again
[04:46.63] Time to lock and load
[04:50.34]
