Lyrics
'm back on the wagon again,
I fell like I lost my best friend,
I'm feeling so down and so low
I'm wondering which way to go
I have to stop seeing my friends,
I can't take the message they bring
The people the places the things
I have to start spreading my wings.
Chorus
I'm back on the wagon again
I feel like I lost my best friend
I'm feeling so down and so low
Please tell me which way I should go.
I'm back on the wagon again
I have a new message to send
I'm strong and I'm ready to fight
My spirit has soared to new heights.
I need to be strong and show strength
My nerves they are shot to the 10th
I'm hearing those voices again
I'm dialing my dearest old friend
I'll be pushing up daisies real soon
I feel like the man in the moon
crawling back home to my cave
wishing so bad I'd been brave
I'm back on the wagon again
How much more time must I spend
I'm hoping that it will soon be enough
Fells like my skin aint so tuff
I know all the turns on this road
My baggage won't lighten this load
I close my red eyes and I pray
I hope for the light of the day
Staying clean has become just a dream
I'm hurting so bad I could scream
my mouth is so dry thats no mistake
I look at my hands as they shake
I'm back on the wagon again
I'm back on the wagon again
I'm back on the wagon again
