Wheels Down

Now she loved me I Loved her Used to jump in an Uber And roll out Used to care she used to share The love that she used to give Me can't be found I lost my way, she said she'd stay Lately I have been sleeping with a ghost My health is down at out, I used to be Worth my weight in gold and she knows That was before a great Depression kicked in and stopped us And that was before Lockdown came in stopped us You told me to leave, but I lied to you When I said That baby no Worries I Promise to get us back I know sorry, just wouldn't do it Her heart is obliterated, I'm Trying, but we aint flying No more Gotta put wheels down I wanna keep climbing and Hoping things Would change And sun turns grey And the water from the rain Washes progress away Gotta put wheels down In hospital must be a Slow death that I'm traveling on It feels so wrong I'm barely holding on See no matter what it takes, I've Gotta get it together These roads I'm traveling up She aint showing me love I'm putting my wheels down
