Lyrics

It's been a long, long time
I just can't remember the reason
Can't remember the rhyme
You can say what you want
But I ain't gonna chance it again

You can hold your fire
Another couple steps and I'll be over the wire
You could take my advice
If you think I'm gonna stay
Well you need to think twice

I got no angels watchin' over me
Harbor no illusion of some deep dark mystery
If you opened your eyes
You could see where this road would lead

You can hold your fire
Another couple steps and I'll be over the wire
You could take my advice
Take your finger off the trigger
And lower your sights

'Cause it's a bad situation
With an easy way out
Just call off your posse
We'll forget all about it
Whatever your agenda
I just can't subscribe
So close your eyes and count to ten
You don't ever have to see me again
I ain't lookin' for no promised land
But I just need a place where I can take a stand

You can't count, can't count on change
It defies your expectations
Time and time again
There's always something
That you didn't quite anticipate

But if you hold your fire
You know I'm just about across that wire
Take one last look
And hold your fire
