My Way down

by Chris Duarte John Jordan recording of 1994 from Texas Sugar Strat Magic (Jive/Novus/Silvertone 41546) My way down Ain't gonna be nice Long road down All covered with ice My way down Its rough, you see All the troubles I threw off Comin' back at me Every Saturday night No lovin' and fights What can I do wrong Nothin' goin' right All my bills unpaid A little money I made A bullet through my head Would be my last mistake My way down, my way down My way down, my way down My way down Ain't gonna be nice Long road down All covered with ice My way down Its rough, you see All the troubles I threw off Comin' back at me Crowd's getting smaller Aggregation governs our life All this pressure on me Tell me what I gotta be Don't know what I did wrong To make my journey so long I get right through this door Then I'll be dead but on My way down, my way down My way down, my way down My way down, my way down
