chorus: i got so many problems ( I got so many problems) and they weigh on my mind (and they weigh on my mind now) i don't solve em, no, i just cause them (I don't solve em I just cause em) and they weigh on my mind (And they weigh on my mind now) tell me where do you go when your money's all gone? when your friends are all gone? when your love is all gone? no right turns, always seems to be wrong all goes bad, it's so hard to be strong it's an uphill battle i don't think i can win i try to do right but i'm surrounded by sin say, he's a better man, don't compare me to him i've climbed the highest tree, now i'm stuck on a limb chorus i look for guiding light, but the bulbs they all burned out got up to the door and the lights they all turned out said they couldn't teach me, so i guess i'm all learned out saw my soul die, didn't fly, it just squirmed out in the blink of an eye i turned my home to a house i know what to say, but no words will come out my time's almost up, i don't have any doubts i said my time's almost up and i don't have any doubts i'm gonna hold on as long as i can here and my american dream, i have some doubts there i'm gonna hold on as long as i can here and my american dream, i have some doubts there chorus And they weigh on my mind, weigh on my mind, weigh on my mind.
