Lyrics: John Maher/Paul Downing
Music: John Maher/Paul Downing
Don’t know why it took so long
On the inside we don’t belong
Got the better half of the blanket
We was cold without a song
One more kid got sent away
The mission south of old Green Bay
Lonely but we hardly cried
Ragged horses we can’t ride
Shed a couple a tears for those who failed
Left school early for his holy grail
Confused and my foot was on the wrong shoe
Milwaukee shooter and a beer or two
Finally found it on the street
(it was out there on the street)
Winter cold and summer heat
(heat so hot it burned my feet)
Never seem to find the path
(Will I ever find the path)
Crying when I try to laugh
(seemed so strange to never laugh)
Lately now I got some space
A marathon is not a race
Endings start with a beginning
Losers sometimes end up winning
Shed a couple a tears for those who failed
Left school early for his holy grail
Confused and my foot was on the wrong shoe
Milwaukee shooter and a beer or two
Milwaukee shooter and a beer or two
