Sick of this life
  Not that you'd care
  I'm not the only one with
  whom these feelings I share
    Nobody understands,
  quite why we're here
  We're searchin' for answers
  That never appear
    But maybe if I looked real hard I'd
  I'd see your tryin' too
  To understand this life,
  That we're all goin' through
  (Then when she said she was gonna like wreck my car...
  I didn't know what to do)
    Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
  An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
  I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
  It may sound funny but you'd think by now
  I'd be smilin'
  I guess some things never change
  Never change
    I met an old cowboy
  I saw the look in his eyes
  Somethin' tells me he's been here before
  'Cause experience makes you wise
  I was only a small child
  When the thought first came to me
  That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son
  That brought back the devil in me
    Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
  An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
  I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
  It may sound funny but you'd think by now
  I'd be smilin'
  I guess some things never change
  Never change
    I ain't quite what you'd call an old soul
  Still wet behind the ears
  I been around this track a couple o' times
  But now the dust is startin' to clear
  Oh yeah!!!
    Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
  An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
  I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
  It may sound funny but you'd think by now
  I'd be smilin'
  Ooh yeah, I'd be smilin'
  No way I'd be smilin'
  Ooh smilin'
