Same Old Pages

These urban streets are dull and gray

Can't find a glimmer of hope anywhere

The chimneys belch out plumes of smoke

And the sky looms black with despair

I was tempted and I buried my sorrows

In whiskey bottles and moments that I borrowed

Now I share my home with a temperamental ghost

It's what could have been that haunts me most

But I won't stop singin', singin' my song

Cause it gives me reason to keep movin' on

The days go by and nothin' changes

I read the same old stories on the same old pages

But I need a reason to keep movin' on

Yeah so I won't stop singin', singin' my song

Why's this world so goddamn mean

I keep looking for something that will gleam

I might never discover what I'm meant to find

But as long as I go searchin', I feel my heart unwind

Yeah, I won't stop singin', singin' my song

Cause it gives me reason to keep movin' on

Oh, the days go by and nothin' changes

Read the same old stories from the same old pages

But I need a reason to keep movin' on

So I won't stop singin', singin' my song

Life's spent in struggle with never-endin' pain

But people go on livin' all the same

But I won't stop singin', singin' my song

Cause it gives me reason to keep movin' on

The days go by and nothin' changes

I read the same old stories on the same old pages

But I need a reason to keep movin' on

Yeah, so I won't stop singin', singin' my song
