Long Walk Back

For the first time in my life I'm feeling plain ordinary And I don't have the fight To carry on with the melee 'Cause I don't have the shoes Like my soul's dead and buried Running off with the blues But one day at a time they say And if you're knowing where you're going You'll be finding your way But where I lay down My tired head is going over and over 'Cause the feeling feels dead I've been far and I've managed to stop the cracks I've been wide and I've taken the long walk back Nine times out of ten I'll be wanting his This time don't tell me that's all there is For the first time in my life I'm feeling plain ordinary Am I wasting my time 'Cause I look for an answer But I don't get a clue Like somebody took my rhythm And just left me with the blues, But who knows 'cause if I take five I might miss an opportunity If one should arise, but when I lay down My tired mind is going over and over I hope the feeling's alive [Chorus] I've been far and I've managed to stop the cracks I've been wide and I've taken the long walk back Nine times out of ten I'll be wanting his This time don't tell me that's all there is How will I start feeling something Might be about to change When will I believe in something strong enough to chase I know that I don't mean half of the stupid things I say But lately I just feel like taking the long walk away [Chorus] --- Long Walk Back - The Rifles
