Early Out The Gate Lyrics

Early Out The Gate lyrics

what you're looking for is never

what you find. nothing ever seems 

to turn out right. still you run around,

still searching on these long indifferent

streets for a lover or some cover

to protect you from the heat 

that you feel inside. inflamed since 

you learned to cry. ever since 

you learned to walk you ran away.

you kept running 'til you couldn't

feel your legs. now you slum around 

this drunken town. pawn shopsand 

titty bars. telling takes of just

how far you got but they all know 

who you are. yeah you're not so great.

you were just early out the gate.



there's a portrait of your mom

when she was young. her face

was shining brightly as the sun.

the son who got away from her,

but came back home again

to find a woman wracked with 

all this love she couldn't give

but you know she did.

you just couldn't feel it then.

i found this birthday cardfrom this 

lady i used to know. it said

"boy, you're really starting to get old."

she was the mother of my mother

and i knew just what she meant.

she'd been through it before, she knew

with all of this resentment

there comes regret. i just hadn't 

gotten there yet.

nothing ever seems to turn out right

no, nothing ever seems to turn out right

so i'll leave it at this

my deepest regrets.
