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
It never comes that easy when you’ve nuthin 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
Never thought I’d make it just from playin my guitar
Just a little smile always shelters me from the pain
Everytime I start to slide I wish upon a star
The sun comes out and dries up all the rain
I’m a honest man who refused the shade on a hot and lonely day
Close my eyes and dream my life away
Now I know that I can stop the rain
Close my eyes and slowly driftaway
