"Too Far Gone" - Southern Wild Roses

Too Far Gone (Them’s Just the Breaks)

I’m all alone, too far gone,
Best to just leave me alone,
Cold with no soul, dead and alone,
I’ll just keep headin’ on,
Guess it’s better when I’m gone.

I’m so down, bare to the bone,
When I’m alone I get stoned,
Cold with no soul, dead and alone,
Head in a bowl,
Pukin’ out my goals.

Yeah I’ve seen the grime,
Walked straight through the slime,
That we call this life,
I believed for a time,
But I never arrived,
So I learned to live with strife.

I chased the Devil, prayed with the Saints,
But I can’t change my ways,
Misery and heartache —
Sometimes them’s just the breaks,
Livin’ life at high stakes.

I ran with whiskey and women,
Got drunk on all the noise,
Only one of ‘em stayed with me,
The others just destroyed,
Every promise that I made,
Every ounce of choice.

I stumbled and fell,
Screamed straight down at Hell,
Left my name in the dust,
On the road where I dwell.

I chased the Devil, prayed with the Saints,
But I can’t change my ways,
Misery and heartache —
Yeah them’s just the breaks,
Livin’ life full of mistakes.

I tried to run, I tried to quit,
Tried to be more than this,
But the cards come bent,
And the dice don’t miss,
You get what you give,
And sometimes that’s it.

I chased the Devil, prayed with the Saints,
Misery and heartache,
Yeah damn you and them breaks,
Guess life gives you what it takes.
