Chris Rea - Still Trying To Clear My Name lyrics

You heard all the stories You heard what they say This stuff's so outdated I can't believe I have to live this way There's been so many seasons Years of thunder fire and rain So many years since I got free And I'm still trying to clear my name Still trying to clear my name Like an old prize-fighter everybody wants to punch i even try to take a fall sometimes just to get back to my lunch I get it so many times I swear I'll go insane So many years now since I got framed And I'm still trying to clear my name Let me tell you it's getting closer Closer by the day I'm loosing my soul When I'm hearing what they say I try to be polite I try to smile And walk away Sometimes it gets me so bad I'm gonna loose it in a big way So many years Since I've gone straight So many years of shame And I'm still trying to clear my name
