When the town fool is a liar and he's preaching to the choir You've got a lot of explaining that you do You see, no one likes a quitter. It makes us oh, so bitter So drop your hat and sit for awhile Ya see, every now and then again we struggle with our past We try to stare it in the eye and pray that it won't last Most questions that get answered they never make much sense But I decided that I care and I'll get right down to it And I said: I've stopped sleepin' I told myself I'd never close my eyes again I'm not sleepin' I'm doin' now the best that I can Well, I like it when you sit and get straight down to it It suits you more than anyone will admit Cause there's something in the air and no one seems to care Nobody will stand up, not even on a dare It's funny how we fool them with tears behind our smile So tried and true, we plow right through and hope it's worth the while Most questions that get answered, they never make much sense But I decided that I care and I'll get right down to it!
