Things I Left Behind
one of these days i will find all the things i left behind
love from my family, love from my friends
my life possiblities with no ends
but i wasnt happy, i wanted more
i was looking for fun, i was looking to score
i met the fast life and i layed it down
they showed me the ways and i painted the town
you want it, i got it, you need it, im there
the thrills, the excitement, i will sleep when im dead
i still cant believe some of the that i said
when things changed again and i caught this case
i couldnt turn down the music i had to face
they rolled up ten deep all carrying guns
i had no where to hide, no where to run
i lost the battle, i lost the fight
now im surrounded by people with not a soul in sight
ten foot fences, stainless steal locks
nothing but time to stare at the clocks
cold concrete walls, cool concrete floors
losing my mind behind these closed doors
bullet proof glass and hard metal bars
forever blocking my veiw of god and his stars
so now here i sit still trying to find
all of the things i left behing
