Paid My Dues

(album: AM Country Heaven - 2013)

I'm not sleeping anymore
I toss and I toss and I turn around
Well I can get up I can't come down
Night after night I stare at the ceiling
I can't shake this awful feeling
This awful feeling, all this devil dealing
Tell me how much will it take
'Cause Lord I think I paid my dues

Well maybe it's the cocaine, maybe it's the pills
Maybe it's the habits, maybe it's the bills
Maybe it's this guilty feeling
But tell me how much will it take
'Cause Lord I think I paid my dues

Well my head is still spinning
Even leaving home I can't come around
After all this time I can't come around
I tried being better, I tried being bad
I tried to forget it, it took all that I had
Took all that I had, every ounce of sad
Tell me how much will it take
'Cause Lord I think I paid my dues

Well maybe it's the cocaine, maybe it's the pills
Maybe it's the habits, maybe it's the bills
Maybe it's this guilty feeling
But tell me how much will it take
'Cause Lord I think I paid my dues
Yeah tell me how much is enough
I'm feeling pretty rough
Lost all my stuff
Goddammit this is tough
Tell me how much will it take
'Cause Lord I think I paid my dues
