lyrics

I don’t know nothing about love
When it comes around I run
And I don’t know a thing about your pain
This skin of mine has grown so tough

I hold on to the stories that they tell me
I haven’t got that much else
I try to give a little here and there when I’m able
But I mostly look out for myself

And the old man on the corner says go on
Have it your way try to make it on your own
When you get to heaven there’ll be plenty of heartache
Cause there won’t be no one there you know

I know a thing or two about guys like you
You’re an open book I can read your eyes
You laugh and tell me how you know so much about me
But you don’t know I’m the master of disguise

And the old man on the corner says go on
Have it your way try to make it on your own
When you get to heaven there’ll be plenty of heartache
Cause there won’t be no one there you know

Sometimes it’s lonelier than midnight on the run
It gets so dark round here I’ve lost sight of the sun
But I know my way home

In the middle of this highway I’ve been traveling
Double yellow lines say don’t cross
I don’t go breaking rules for nothing
But sometimes I think I’d be better off
On the other side

Before you go remember
Be sure you always say goodbye
Hug your mama and tell her that you love her
And tell those boys you never even tried

And the old man on the corner says go on
Have it your way try to make it on your own
When you get to heaven there’ll be plenty of heartache
Cause there won’t be no one there you know
