Lyrics

I walked down your old street, a slip of direction
And there you were in the middle of my mind
It’s been so many years since you stopped paying me attention
And I’m still crying cause you never told me why

CHORUS:
Well, people won’t like you for all kinds of reasons
It has little to do with who done who wrong
You can spend your whole life trying so damn hard to please ‘em
Just spinning your wheels till you can’t go on
You’ll be spinning those wheels till you can’t go on

I tried hard to love you, to always understand
Then, honey, I figured out that one-way train would never end
You took all my troubles, you made them multiply
When a woman shows emotion that’s your sign to say goodbye

CHORUS

Well, shame on you for making think that I was crazy
And shame on you for making me feel like I was wrong
If I didn’t have such high expectations
I’d be just like you singing that same old song
I’d be just like you singing that same damn song
And I’m singing a new one, honey

Well, go ahead mister. Go drown in your whiskey
The religion of a sinner needs a saint nailed to the wall
Well, I ain’t so perfect, and this feeling bad ain’t worth it
I’m taking myself down, and I’m walking out the door

Cause people will like you for all kinds of reasons
It has little to do with who done who right
When you find yourself spinning your wheels just to please ‘em
Honey, get off a that train, better run for your life
Honey, get off a that train, better run for your life
For your life, for your life
