lyrics

Connecticut Sky where I live and where I die
Headed up the road on highway 95
The traffic is jammed and so is my head
my stomach is tight like a ball of lead
i've been trying to make it better
Lord i'm doin' the best I can
it's so hard to win
it's how you take losing, that makes you a man
I've been trying to walk the line but the line is tight
I might not make it but maybe I might
You probably think i'm helpless and damaged goods
but I wouldn't change that even if I could
yeah you got your own way, you got yours and i got mine
we could stick together
or say goodbye, goodnight, see ya later hope you're doin' fine
and oh, oh darlin', I know that you'll be fine
and i'm still here for ya, if you should think
I'm worth your time
Well I pleaded and I plead, I cut off my feet and stood on one leg
I wait for the mail but it don't come
it's time you go back where you come from and that ship'll be sailing
sailing away without me
I guess i'll go back to bein' what I used to be
Connecticut Sky where I live and where I die
I can see your soul and you can see mine
I tried so hard and that ain't no lie
never means forever, thanks for the time
