Got a call from you
Somewhat north of 2 A.M.
Wanna see what I'm up to
They just let you out of Jail again
And you found yourself a program
That's helping you see things real clear
Finally got your life on the right track
Finally got the monkey off your back
Picking up the pieces of your life
Repair the damage with your kid and wife
You'll take this one day at a time
And this time you'll persevere
Ooh
I know that life is scary
You think you found your way
But still I gotta say
I don't think you'll make it, Gary
Ooh
Make no mistake about it
I hope you're done with all your strife
Live a long and happy life
But I kinda sorta doubt it
You say you've given it a lot of thought
Maybe your story can help kids that're feeling low
Yeah maybe, but probably not
But hey man whatever, you never know
You say you just wanna give something back
Now that you've made it through and seen the worst
Maybe you shouldn't give your back a pat
Until you've made it through the weekend first.
You're just trying to occupy your days
The devils workshop is an idle hand
Don't want to go back to your old ways
Uh-huh, cool, that's awesome man
You say that as you're getting on your feet
You need a place to stay for a month or so
You promise you'll keep your room real neat
That's cool if I hear anything I'll let you know
Ooh
I know that life is scary
You think you found your way
But still I got to say
I don't think you're gonna make it, Gary
Ooh
Some lives are cautionary
Pulling for you to win this race
But I'm gonna keep my space
I don't think you'll make it, Gary
