lyrics

I keep reaching, keep on reaching
But I never get a hold
Life feels empty on the inside
Won't grasp gold until I've died

I was thrown day I got born
Been flying ever since
I long to land, just a day or two
To scoop up all my wits

Every step that I take feels like the wrong direction
Every move that I make feels like I'm running scared
Every step that I take feels like the wrong direction
What you runnin from man, ah what you runnin from man

I got wine, women and work
to while away all my days
But when I review the years
man I got nothin to say

Tell me true, ah tell me true
Can you say any different?
I bet you're just like me
another drop in the deep blue sea

Every step that you take feels like the wrong direction
Every move that you make feels like you're running scared
Every step that you take feels like the wrong direction
What you runnin from man, ah what you runnin from man
