3:17 A.M.

 

I keep sayin' I'll pick up those bottles of Jack,

Remindin' myself to take out the trash.

I keep sayin' that I'm gonna be okay,

But why can't I mean what I say?

 

I keep sayin' that I'll clean out my pickup truck,

Sayin' that I'm gonna make a few bucks.

I keep sayin' that I'm gonna be okay.

Why can't I mean what I say?

 

I've been hurtin' so bad, I don't care anymore,

Hurtin' so bad, I'm not scared anymore.

I can't find the key, and I'm on the floor.

Someone please open the door.

 

I keep sayin' that I'm gonna mow the front yard,

I keep sayin' I'm stayin' away from the bar.

I keep sayin' that I'm gonna be okay.

Why can't I mean what I say?

 

I keep sayin' I'm gonna catch up with old friends,

Tellin' myself the party never ends.

I keep sayin' that I'm gonna be okay,

And I'm tryin' to mean what I say.

 

I've been hurtin' so bad, I don't care anymore,

Hurtin' so bad, I'm not scared anymore.

I can't find the key, and I'm on the floor.

Someone please open the door.

 

I finally got groceries and stocked up the fridge,

I spent more time with my best friends,

I emptied out that damn ashtray,

And I'm workin' on bein' okay.

 

I went out today and got me a job, 

Made some new friends, and got me a dog.

I picked up a book and turned a new page.

I've moved on and I'm okay.

I've moved on and I'm okay.

I've moved on and I'm okay.
