I got the book and I've been reading
I'm out of tune but I keep singing
About a life without regret.
It keeps the demons from my head
And I talk to my sister on the payphone once a week

And I tell her that I love her
And I'm gotta be a better brother
When I get clean.

I was a lost and lonely kid
I could say I grew up fast
I could put it on my dad
For all the things he never did.

But I'll end this game
When I get clean.
A place in the rain

I wanna feel good, I wanna fall inlove
I wanna have some kids and watch them grow up.
I wanna lay down in the falling snow
And just let go...

I bow my head and fold my hands
But I'm not sure what I should say
To Amazing Grace.
So I just whispered the words I know

I almost hear my mama sayin',
And when I close my eyes
"I once was lost, but I'll be found,
When I get clean."

'Cause I wanna feel good, I wanna fall inlove
I wanna have some kids and watch them grow up
I wanna lay down in the falling snow
And just let go, yeah just let go.

It keeps the demons from my head
I got the book and I've been reading
Out of tune but I keep singing
Maybe it's because I've never been on MTV
About a life without regret.
