Look inside the mirror, but I don't know who I see. Smoke another cigarette, a smile holds back the tears. These contradictions seem to be the story of my life. A simple man with memories of those long lost golden days. I close my eyes and slowly driftaway.
Mistakes I've made remind me of the roads I shouldn't choose. Never comes that easy when you've nothing left to lose. I can't see the answers, tell me why am I so blind? A tired man, I'll make the best of another lonely day. I close my eyes and slowly driftaway.
Misaway, yeah. Never thought I'd make it just from playin my guitar. Just a little smile always shelters me from pain. Every time I start to slide, I wish upon a star. The sun comes out and dries up all the rain.
I'm an honest man who refused the shade on a hot and lonely day. I close my eyes and dream my life away. Now I know that I can stop the rain. Close my eyes and slowly driftaway. Close my eyes and dream my life away.
