Campaign Trail

I pay my bills to the time collectors
 They're getting more from me each day
 I pay them off a few words at a time
 But the spur's gone from the moment
 And the moment's slipped away
 I used to feel like something here was mine
 Now I pay them off a few words at a time
 I reach into my pocket just so I can make some change
 And I find more hands than I can ever shake
 And I hope you will forgive me if I don't return your call
 But there's someone watching every move I make
 And I've got more hands than I could ever shake
 Chorus
 I'm running for my life here out on the campaign trail
 And the crowds will not forgive me if I lose
 And I'd like to think I'm special but I do know otherwise
 Excuse me but I need to make the news
 'Cause the crowds will not forgive me if I lose
 I'm really not complaining won't you say your name again
 I'm sorry but that isn't what I mean
 There's a prison called tomorrow and there's one called yesterday
 The only place your free is in between
 Oh I'm sorry but that isn't what I mean
 Chorus
