Staring in my rear view wondering how I made it out

Took the road less travelled

Giving thanks to the gravel that got me here

I couldn't shed no tears through the pain and the suffering

Why bother now

Didn't waste my time on 'em

It's just tears gone bad

Mama working long hours round the clock

Just tryna make it work

Daddy had a choice between us and the bottle and we ended up packing our bags

Now we tryna reach out

Don't need a grown man struggling

Don't bother now

Didn't make me drown

Papa

Just tears gone bad

There was times I was lost and no one look for me

I been caught by the law

Threw that book at me

Lord must have an angel watching over me

Wouldn't let me drown in 'em

Tears gone bad

There was times I was lost and no one look for me

Told me I couldn't fly with these broken wings

Just look at me

Tears don't last

Now look at me

Here at last
