Lock & Load
Well i wish i had a nickel
For every time i fell and blamed somebody else
Id give a ton of money to the ones ive hurt
And id still be sittin pretty well
Ive spent years losin touch of whats right and whats real
Caught up in these missions of my own
And youre tellin me you think ive done so damn well
While were sittin here a thousand miles from home
Theres a hole in your wisdom, a hole in your sky
Two holes in your head where the lights supposed to get by
Time to lock and load
Time to get control
Time to search the soul
And start again
So many times ive seen chances disappear
I hesitate and watch them slip away
Like the time i fail to spend with the ones i love
And its gone as sure as yesterday
All these users and fakers, big time takers
Manipulating everyone they see
I get caught up in their schemes and their useless dreams
And the only one i have to blame is me
I get turned `round and twisted, pulled left and right
I can see where im goin, but i cant see the light
Time to lock and load
Come in from the cold
Take a different road
And start again
I can sit here, in the back half of my life
And wonder when the other shoe will fall
Or i can stand up, point myself home
And see if ive learned anything at all
Anything at all
Mediocrity is easy, the good things take time
The great need commitment, right down the line
Time to lock and load
Come in from the cold
Pay these debts i owe
And start again
Ive been down this road
Ive seen things get old
Time to get control
And start it all again
Time to lock and load
Time to get control
Time to search the soul
And start again
Ive been down this road
Ive seen things get old
Stand up, get bold
And start it all again
Time to lock and load
