While you was gone you must have done a lot of favors You’ve got a whole lot of things I don’t think That you could ever have paid for While you’ve been busy crying About my past mistakes I’ve been busy trying to make a change I made a change I’ve been riding with the ghost I’ve been doing whatever he told me I’ve been looking door to door to see if there was someone who’d hold me I never met a single one who didn’t see through me None of them could love me if they thought they might lose me Unless I made a change See I ain’t getting better.
