[Verse]
Yo, you ever wake up feelin' like you're not in control?
And if you die today, you couldn't pay the toll?
That's how I felt when I was out on the road
I've been down on my luck
But ain't no use in holdin' a grudge, 'cause life is short
All you need is somethin' to love
Somethin' you can cherish while you can
Before it's gone in a puff
And if you don't know what you got, it's gon' be tough
I tell you once, I tell you twice, I tell you three times, four
They say the fifth is the charm
I wrote this song to tell the world that I ain't meant no harm
I broke some hearts and hurt some feelings, but my spirit is strong
And when I leave this earth, I hope to hear my name in the stars
And see my face in the clouds
I hope I make my mama proud
I hope I do it in style
The preacher say it's okay to let it all out
He said, "It all falls down"
I'm in my own mind now
And all the people lookin' at me, they could hear the sound
I'm hearin' whispers in the trees, they sayin' "Look around"
So when you see me walkin' down the street, know I'm thinkin' aloud
And I could only feel at peace when I was lost and found
I guess I always felt at ease when I was
Down on my luck
But ain't no use in holdin' a grudge, 'cause life is short
All you need is somethin' to love
Somethin' you can cherish while you can
Before it's gone in a puff
And if you don't know what you got, it's gon' be tough
I tell you once, I tell you twice, I tell you three times, four
They say the fifth is the charm
I wrote this song to tell the world that I ain't meant no harm
I broke some hearts and hurt some feelings, but my spirit is strong
And when I leave this earth, I hope to hear my name in the stars
And see my face in the clouds
I hope I make my mama proud
I hope I do it in style
The preacher say it's okay to let it all out
He said, "It all falls down"
I'm in my own mind now
And all the people lookin' at me, they could hear the sound
I'm hearin' whispers in the trees, they sayin' "Look around"
So when you see me walkin' down the street, know I'm thinkin' aloud
And I could only feel at peace when I was lost and found
I guess I always felt at ease when I was
Down on my luck
But ain't no use in holdin' a grudge, 'cause life is short
All you need is somethin' to love
Somethin' you can cherish while you can
Before it's gone in a puff
And if you don't know what you got, it's gon' be tough
I tell you once, I tell you twice, I tell you three times, four
They say the fifth is the charm
I wrote this song to tell the world that I ain't meant no harm
I broke some hearts and hurt some feelings, but my spirit is strong
And when I leave this earth, I hope to hear my name in the stars
And see my face in the clouds

I hope I do it in style

So when you see me walkin' down the street, know I'm thinkin' aloud
And I could only feel at peace when I was lost and found
I guess I always felt at ease when I was

[Chorus]
Down on my luck
