lyrics

Just do what you want to
life's too short for feeling blue
ain't got no money, nothin new
just an old guitar and the hard plain truth

seems like I always want the thing I can't have
wasting time that I'll never get back

can spend a lifetime looking, trying to get found
ain't nothin worse than a drunken clown
minutes turn to hours, days
months and years just fade away

seems like I always want the thing I can't have
wasting time that I'll never get back

never get it
never get it back

searching for a place to go
when you finally get there you're all alone
remember how it used to be
now new york's dead and records are free

seems like I always want the thing I can't have
wasting time that I'll never get back
pour my heart out, blood runs red
fade to black, I'll sleep when I'm dead

sleep when I'm dead
sleep when I'm dead
sleep when I'm dead
