Been Gone Too Long

Life has made me
 Pay an awful price
 I try and gamble with ya
 But you're using crooked dice
 Somebody's gotta suffer
 Somebody's shore gotta feel some pain
 If it's gonna rain down misery
 How come it all has to fall on me?
 Money you've made me
 Some very fast friends
 And just like you made them
 You're gonna break them in the end
 Somebody's gotta suffer
 Somebody's shore gotta feel some pain
 If it's gonna rain down misery
 How come it all has to fall on me?
 I've had my share, of love life and money
 I've lost all 3 ways
 I'm here to tell ya that shore ain't funny
 Me and my money parted, so did my love and I
 Life don't mean a thing
 And I wish that I could die
 Life has made, a whole lotta fools
 Always teach ya something
 You never learn in school
 Somebody's gotta suffer
 Somebody's shore gotta feel some pain
 If it's gonna rain down misery
 How come it all has to fall on me?
