(crystal bernard/david rhyne) It used to be easy, now i'm doin' my time Workin' so hard i got a pain in my side Runnin' up a hill tryin' to catch my breath Nowhere to go when i need some rest Where do i hide, take me away From this lonely state of mind I've got to say, it's time to play tonight Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living But it's only just a state of mind Time to roll the dice, close my eyes and let it ride Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living But it's only just a state of mind I've been doing my best but there's one regret That i live in this state of mind My phone machine's beeping and it's hurting my head Twenty-eight messages, i said People come and go like a thief in the night Taking my heart, stealing my time Papers and dreams, what does it mean When i'm in this state of mind Polite as i seem, i want to scream inside Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living But it's only just a state of mind Time to roll the dice, close my eyes and let it ride Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living But it's only just a state of mind I've been doing my best but there's one regret That i live in this state of mind Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living But it's only just a state of mind Time to roll the dice, close my eyes and let it ride Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living But it's only just a state of mind I've been doing my best but there's one regret That i live in this state of mind Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living But it's only just a state of mind I've been doing my best but there's one regret That i live in this state of mind
