Breaking Down Low
Seen the signs on the road,
I’ve missed them all
Don’t know which way to go,
I’ll land where I fall.
Going to go where I’m taken, hope to see you there
Resting on easy on the other side
Lord knows I’ll be shaking these shackles from me
Oh it's gonna be helluva ride
Cause I’veBeen living so high, now I’m breaking down low
That sweet simple life is so hard crack,
Every time I get closer I keep falling off track
Got to hold on dearly to what I got left:
my family , friends and the treble clef.
