ridin' high when i was king
played it hard and fast cause i had everything
but easy come and easy go and it would end
won't you give your hand out
that i tried so hard to be a man
the kind of man you'd want in the end
only then can i begin to live again
an empty shell i used to be
shadow of my life is hangin' over me
broken man that i don't know
devil's dancing with my soul
won't you give your hand out
i'm fightin' hard to hold my own
i just can't make it all alone
now that big brass ring is a shade of black
won't you put your lovin' hand out
