Gotta get out of this town
Been feeling that way ever since
My feet touched this cursed ground
I made it so I couldn’t even stand
With the help of this bottle in my hand
I stumbled around like a drunken fool
Too blind to see that I was just being used like a throwaway tool
In those hard times there was pain
But I found that a hard lesson learned is wisdom gained
Though I may fall down with the sun
You better know that I’m not done
'Cause I’ll rise up with the morning light
Just because I fall, it don’t mean I’ve lost it all
It’s all apart of the pendulum swing
It might be you’re down on your luck
Oh, fallen on hard times, maybe given up
I’ve seen it a thousand times before
You shouldn’t worry
There are such great things in store
Though we may fall down with the sun
You better know that we’re not done
'Cause we’ll rise up with the morning light
Just because we fall, it don’t mean we’ve lost it all
It’s all apart of the pendulum swing
