lyrics

now don't get me wrong
makin' music that's a beautiful thing
i wouldn't trade it for anything in the world
but man - there's some trials and tribulations
if you gonna be playin' this game - know what i'm sayin'?

hey now!
well jimmy just sold his guitar
said he's gonna leave the band yeah
said he's got a little girl now
and it's time he became a man

and johnny got a job today
said it's time that he got paid yeah (oh now)
said he's gonna save some cash and
maybe go to school someday
(go to school?)

and i'm in hell
baby can't you tell yeah?
i'm thinkin' 'bout walkin' out (yeah)
walkin' out that door someday
oh my my

met a friend from the 'hood
used to play the horn in high school
said he'd be a big success well
now's he's just a local fool
(yeah that's what they call him)
and there's so many hills to climb
i'm searchin' for the rainbow's end eh
i don't know where i find myself but
i'm runnin' outta friends

'cause i'm in hell
baby can't you tell?
i'm thinkin' 'bout walkin' out
walkin' out that door someday
said i'm in hell yeah
baby can't you tell? (oh now)
i'm thinkin' 'bout walkin' out (yeah)
walkin' out that door someday
(one more time)
i'm in hell (oh now)
baby can't you tell? (whoa now)
i'm thinkin' 'bout walkin' out
walkin' out that door someday

and i won't look baaaaack
