John Gorka - Campaign Trail lyrics

I pay my bills to the time collectors They're getting more from me each day I pay them off a few words at a time But the spur's gone from the moment And the moment's slipped away I used to feel like something here was mine Now I pay them off a few words at a time I reach into my pocket just so I can make some change And I find more hands than I can ever shake And I hope you will forgive me if I don't return your call But there's someone watching every move I make And I've got more hands than I could ever shake [Chorus] I'm running for my life here out on the campaign trail And the crowds will not forgive me if I lose And I'd like to think I'm special but I do know otherwise Excuse me but I need to make the news 'Cause the crowds will not forgive me if I lose I'm really not complaining won't you say your name again I'm sorry but that isn't what I mean There's a prison called tomorrow and there's one called yesterday The only place your free is in between Oh I'm sorry but that isn't what I mean [Chorus]
