Flatbed Road
Wandered down past the old cafe on flatbed road
Saw a girl in jeans, not that old
I wondered where the night had gone
Sun was up, 'Twas way past dawn
My head felt like it was just about to explode
Why did she have to come back around
It'd been five years since she broke me down
What could I say anyway
She always seems to get her way
I'm a dog that never gets his damn day
When she left before, she said I was a clown
Nothing I did, or make, would stick around
She said I never meant that much
That romance with me was out of touch
She felt more for her dog, old brown dutch
It's time, I live my life
It's time, I get it, I get it right
I can't keep looking back
At the old pictures and photographs
Wishing life took a different track
It's time, I live my life
It's time, I get it, I get it right
It's time to put away the gin
Time I stop rememberin'
There comes a point when you can't win
It's time, I live my life
It's time to get it, to get it right
But I can't get her off my mind
Life without her would be a better time
She holds a special place for me
Somewhere down near purgatory
If only my heart and mind could agree
I'm riding the heartbreak again
Everything makes me remember back when
I need to get off this trail
Shriek and laugh and kick some tail
And party like some wild animal
I've come to the end of flatbed road
It's as far as this story will go
I've now come to see the light
There's a girl down on the right
And she might change my whole life tonight
It's time, I live my life
It's time, I get it, I get it right
I can't keep looking back
At the old pictures and photographs
Wishing life took a different track
It's time, I live my life
It's time, I get it, I get it right
It's time to put away the gin
Time I stop rememberin'
There comes a point when you can't win
It's time, I live my life
It's time to get it, to get it right
And I've come to the end of flatbed road
Saw a girl in jeans, not that old
I wondered where the night had gone
Sun was up, 'Twas way past dawn
My head felt like it was just about to explode
Why did she have to come back around
It'd been five years since she broke me down
What could I say anyway
She always seems to get her way
I'm a dog that never gets his damn day
When she left before, she said I was a clown
Nothing I did, or make, would stick around
She said I never meant that much
That romance with me was out of touch
She felt more for her dog, old brown dutch
It's time, I live my life
It's time, I get it, I get it right
I can't keep looking back
At the old pictures and photographs
Wishing life took a different track
It's time, I live my life
It's time, I get it, I get it right
It's time to put away the gin
Time I stop rememberin'
There comes a point when you can't win
It's time, I live my life
It's time to get it, to get it right
But I can't get her off my mind

It's time, I live my life
It's time to get it, to get it right
And I've come to the end of flatbed road
