Head East - Back In My Own Hands lyrics

Well I knew a girl, she was the child of the devil It took me so damn long to see That she could wrap me around her fingers Til there was nothin' left of poor old me I had a night job down in the city Where the hours seem to turn into days The frozen clock on the wall it wouldn't move at all I had to make my getaway So I laid my cards down on the table I had a feelin' I was ready and able Now I'm livin' it my own way I hear the music that I gotta play It's so easy wakin' up to the day With my life back in my own hands There are times when I can't sing this song When the days and nights have gone all wrong But with somebody to love, a little help from above I'll get my feet back on the ground before long Chorus Back in my own hands Back in my own hands Back in my own hands There are times when I can't sing this song When the days and nights are always goin' wrong But with somebody to love, a little help from above I'll get my feet back on the ground before long Chorus Now I'm livin' it my own way I hear the music I gotta play It's so easy wakin' up to the day With my life back in my own hands Back in my own hands Back in my own hands
