Long Gone Before Daylight (2003)

I came home in the morning
And everything was gone!
Oh, what have I done?
I dropped dead in the hallway
Cursing the dawn
Oh come on sun

Why must I burn
I'm just trying to learn

I stare into the light
To kill some of my pain.
It was all in vain,
'Cause no senses remain.
But an ache in my body
And regret on my mind
But I'll be fine

'Cause I live and I learn,
Yes, I live and I learn,
If you live you will learn
And I live and I learn.

God kicked you in the head
So I started a fight,
Cause I knew I was right
But I learned I was wrong,
I remember a slaughter
I remember I fought
Fought for the money I brought
I got blistered and burned
And lost what I earned
But I lived and I learned
Yes, I lived and I learned

I got, I got it now.
I got, I got it now.
(She's got, she's got it now!)
I got, I got it now. / She's got it now!
I got, I got it now.
(She's got, she's got it now!)

I came to on a corner,
Want some help from a man
God damn I don't seem to have learned
That a lady in need
Is guilty indeed,
So I paid and got laid in return
And I don't know what I've learned...

Well... you get what you give!
And hell, yes, I'll live
But if you live as you learn,
I don't think I can learn
All with the sun in my eyes
Surprise, I'm living a life.
But I don't seem to learn,
No, I don't think I can learn...
