The last thing I wanted was to end up like this An old man running away from his kids Tell-tale neighbors bust my block What I feared is clear Write me back and rescue me Everyone has their day in jail Hold me down around your corner Tell me something you have won Sign outside reads "House for sale" Keeps me running down by law My mind is made up I won't lose it again The last time I feared him And now I hide within I used to be a singer Retired pen in hand But now they want to turn me into a fighter And write fight I will show they're foolin' Hold me down around your corner Tell me something you have won Sign outside reads "House for sale" Keeps me running down by law
